The L2B Teacher training sequence
Basic teacher preparation involves a 3-day training sequence described below in Steps 1 and 2.
More advanced training is required for certification, Step 3.
Those who teach mindfulness should also have completed a mindfulness course, like MBSR, to establish and support their own mindfulness practice.
1: Online L2B Foundation Course
The online course offers a broad overview of the theory and research behind L2B. This Foundation Course may also be accessible as an in-person workshop in certain locations. Once you have completed this course, you will receive a Verification of Completion which allows you to progress to Step 2. You must complete the Foundation workshop and receive the verification before registering for further training.
2: L2B Intensive Workshop
The Intensive is a 2-day workshop designed to prepare participants to teach the program, so it relies more on practice than on presentation of theoretical and research background information. Intensive workshops are available in-person in certain locations and live online. Get details of the next workshop here.
3: Become an L2B Certified Trainer
L2B certification exists at the Master Trainer level and is available for those who want to teach others to deliver this program. The process involves an application, prerequisites such as MBSR, L2B workshop participation, L2B instruction for at least five group, individual coaching and supervision, as well as other requirements.
