What professional benefits will I gain from taking the course?
None directly. The main benefits come from a deeply personal exploration that will certainly influence every aspect of life, including professional life.
Will becoming an ES.TE.TRA. Teacher improve my employment prospects?
Unfortunately, the Institute cannot determine artists’ employment opportunities. Much depends on each candidate’s organizational and interpersonal abilities. As the Institute receives more requests for training, as we expect it will, a team of Teachers will be needed to spread and teach this approach throughout Italy and Europe, and hopefully beyond Europe as well. The Institute participates in the international network of the Humanist Movement and the Humanist Study Centres, and new branches may also be established.
Is the ES.TE.TRA. Teacher certificate recognized by the state?
The certificate allows its holder to teach the subjects and seminars of Transcendental Art in coordination and agreement with the Institute.
Can I teach abroad with an ES.TE.TRA. certificate?
There are two ways to teach anywhere in the world: by creatively drawing on the aspects of the Transcendental Art experience that you find most meaningful, while acknowledging your training; or by teaching as an official ES.TE.TRA. Teacher. In the latter case, all educational initiatives must be planned and coordinated with the other Teachers and the Institute.
What is the relationship between an ES.TE.TRA. Teacher and the Institute?
Teachers who wish to continue teaching Transcendental Art after completing their courses can do so in coordination with the Institute and the other Teachers. This is not about control but about belonging: feeling part of an international project, having points of reference, a website and a group for sharing experiences, and maintaining deep human bonds with fellow Teachers are all part of the philosophy and way of life of the Teachers.
