Self-study and personal guidance
At the Inner Mind Institute, we know that self-study is essential to make the most valuable progress in your mindfulness training and personal development. You will start your Mindfulness Instructor Training conveniently through our online learning platform.
This self-study program offers students the flexibility to schedule their study time. However, you will have access to the study module for seven weeks so we encourage all students to complete the program within the given time frame and pass their exam.
To support your practice during your Mindfulness Instructor Training, you can use the Student Community on our online platform to connect and learn from other students’ experiences or even initiate practice sessions with your peers, should you wish to do so.
During your Mindfulness Instructor Training, you will focus on two aspects:
1. Help you increase your theoretical knowledge and teach you to master the most effective mindfulness techniques.
2. Help you overcome your personal challenges.
Although personal guidance is not included in the Mindfulness Instructor Training, you can use the online platform for general questions about the study materials. Using the Student Community can help other students who may have the same question(s) as you.
We expect you to work independently with the materials offered in the Teacher Training study modules on our online platform for mindfulness.

Duration of the training
The Mindfulness Instructor Training takes only 7 weeks to complete. Although you can complete the program relatively fast, you need to be dedicated and spend sufficient time on your studies in order to be able to pass your exam.

For who is the Mindfulness Teacher Training?
Our Mindfulness Instructor Training is perfect for anyone who is motivated to learn and transfer the true essence of mindfulness to others. Compared to our 3-year Teacher Training program, the Mindfulness Instructor Training has a more practical approach, allowing you to focus on mastering new mindfulness techniques without the depth of underlying theory and philosophy, hence completing the training within a much shorter time. Therefore, this training is perfect if you are looking to start working as a mindfulness instructor relatively quickly.

Requirements to start
There are no specific requirements to get started with our Mindfulness Instructor Training. So, you don’t need to have completed any pre-education in mindfulness or even have experience with mindfulness at all! However, it goes without saying that if you do have experience (no matter the level of experience) you are likely to pick up the techniques more easily, progress through the program more smoothly, and come to deeper insights.

Tests and exams
You will conclude your Mindfulness Instructor Training with an exam with one of the IMI’s mindfulness teachers or masters. The exam will take place in the final week of the training program. We recommend you to schedule a date and time for your exam at your earliest convenience so that you can complete the program within the timeframe of seven weeks.

Become a certified MRP Teacher
Upon completing the 7-week Mindfulness Instructor Training, you will become a certified MRP Instructor and be able to teach a toolbox of profound mindfulness techniques to others.
Continue with our Teacher Training
If you are looking to continue your studies while also focusing on your personal development, you can continue with the Inner Mind Institute’s Teacher Training program. The entire program takes three years but you will decide whether you want to progress further after each study year.
Upon completing the three study years, you will respectively become a certified MRP Trainer (after year 1), MRP Teacher (after year 2), or MRP Expert (after year 3). After 7 years of consecutive practice and guiding courses and retreats, you can even reach your mastership and become a certified MRP Master!

The Teacher Training is accredited by the IMRPA
Taking a mindfulness teacher training program at an IMRPA accredited school, such as the Inner Mind Institute, means that the school’s program has met the high standards set by the association for teaching MRP to others. The quality mark ensures students that the training they receive will provide them with the necessary knowledge, skills, and techniques to teach MRP effectively and according to high-quality standards.
Upon completing the program at the Inner Mind Institute, students will be eligible for accreditation from the IMRPA (“International Mind Retreat Program Association”) themselves. This accreditation is a symbol of quality and excellence in mindfulness education and may also increase the student’s opportunities for employment and career advancement

Teach others as a certified MRP Trainer
Immediately upon passing your exam, you can start working as a certified MRP Instructor. By completing this program, you are capable of guiding mindfulness classes and teaching the mindfulness techniques to others.
The Mindfulness Instructor Training gives you the liberty to teach others in a way that works best for you. There is no fixed course or program to guide to others. Instead, you can host daily or weekly mindfulness sessions or even complete courses and instruct others with what you have learned during this program. The beauty of this program is that you can even combine your new toolbox of techniques with techniques, theories, or philosophies that you have learned elsewhere.
