The Vedic Mathematics Teacher Training Course
This certified course is run by MATH-Inic Online in conjunction with the Vedic Mathematics Academy.
Description: This 9 week certificated course (36 lessons) is for those who have some teaching experience (it does not have to be in mathematics) and who wish to teach the Vedic system.
The 36 video lessons can be watched at any convenient time during the week and are available for the duration of the course..
The Course is conducted entirely online with weekly Tests, Discussion Meetings, two Assignments and optional ‘Challenge Questions’.
No prior knowledge of Vedic Mathematics is required.
There is also a lively discussion forum where ideas and comments are exchanged.
Students who pass the course will have access to structured courses consisting of several hundred worksheets which may be used free of charge.
Please note the course is not designed to be easy: of those who enroll some do not stay to finish the course and some do not reach the required level to pass. If you are not serious about becoming a certified Vedic Maths teacher do not apply for this course.
We have a pass mark of 70% and those achieving 90% or more earn a distinction.
The Advanced Diploma course is available to those who successfully complete the teacher training course.
Mode: 100 % Online – Self paced – Enrol and study from any part of the globe.
Course Fees: Total Fee – $120/ P6,000 – Non Refundable and Non transferable.

Course Content for the Teacher Training Course – TTC
Though the course does not aim to teach teaching, it includes advice on teaching, and two teaching projects are part of the course.
The main aim is to present mathematics as a structured, but easy and unified subject. That is to say: the mathematical content is Vedic Maths.
We start at the beginning with basic addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Various simple and natural devices are introduced that make calculations very easy.
We concentrate on mental maths as well as written work, and various checking devices are used.
In addition to the basic general methods we have special methods in the Vedic system, which enable very tough problems to be solved with ease. This gives confidence as well as creating a sense of fun in maths work.
In addition to the basic operations we cover:
Fractions
Divisibility
Algebra
Solving equations
Squaring; square roots
Transformations
Coordinate geometry
Quadratic equations
Recurring decimals
The Vedic Numerical Code
Etc.
Various historical aspects are also included in the course.
