Established in 1992, Bournemouth Montessori Centre (BMC) is a leading and well-respected provider of Montessori teacher training, with over three decades of experience delivering high-quality, affordable, college-based courses.

As a small and friendly centre, we take pride in our strong academic success, led by highly experienced Montessori trainers. Our Academic Director, Martha Mason, established our courses over 30 years ago after gaining the Association Montessori Internationale (AMI), originally established by Dr Montessori. 

Our mission is to train authentic Montessori teachers who develop a deep understanding of the Montessori Method and its practice. Whether working in Montessori schools, nurseries, or other early years settings, our graduates leave with the confidence, skills, and knowledge to make a real difference in children's lives.

At BMC, we offer a supportive, small-group learning experience, ensuring that each student receives individual attention. Our approach helps students become confident, competent, and professional Montessori educators.

Our students consistently tell us they feel supported, inspired and career-ready, with many securing employment during the course. BMC graduates are highly regarded by employers and have gone on to work as Montessori teachers and Early Years practitioners, open their own Montessori schools, teach or nanny abroad, work as nannies in the UK, volunteer internationally, or apply their Montessori knowledge successfully within other professional roles.

Past students have become Montessori teachers; started Montessori schools of their own; gone abroad to teach; gone abroad to nanny; become nannies in the UK; have volunteered in third world countries or put their Montessori knowledge to good use in their chosen profession.
