Instructor Training
All instructors in MountainHeart's 850 & 1000 Hour CMT Programs are and will be trained in the art and profession of instructing and teaching. Most schools employ instructors with no training in this field. Though many instructors are good therapists, we feel that instructing effectively requires skills and understanding that most therapists do not have.
