About Us
Sydney Montessori Training Centre (SMTC) is a national organisation committed to providing quality training to the Montessori community and to those interested in becoming qualified in the Montessori method.
SMTC is the only training centre in Australia authorised to deliver Association Montessori Internationale (AMI) Montessori courses for the 0-18 age-levels. The Association Montessori Internationale accredits training centres throughout the world which offer AMI Diploma courses that are internationally recognised for their high standard and authenticity.
Each year thousands of teachers and classroom assistants are trained worldwide.
All AMI accredited training centres, including SMTC, are staffed by highly qualified AMI teacher trainers who undertake a rigourous program of study and experience over many years to prepare to take on the role of AMI trainer. Students on AMI Diploma Courses are examined by external examiners, appointed by AMI, to further ensure the high standard and integrity of the courses. SMTC runs shorter courses online and AMI Diplomas in a mixture of online and in-person formats in four Australian cities being Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Sydney.
