One route, successive modules

International Practitioner trainings run as three days, closely following each other. In these three days you focus on the theory, practise with children, learn about cognition and giftedness with the World Game, and become a certified professional who is allowed to work with the World Game in your own environment. In the Netherlands, each level is made up of study days, a few weeks apart. The days you have already followed count towards the next level.
