The Australian Centre for Montessori Studies (ACMS) is a national organisation committed to providing quality training to the Montessori teaching community, and to those interested in becoming qualified in the Montessori method. There are basically two components to teaching qualifications within Montessori, one being what is mandated by the government and the other being the Montessori pedagogical training required by a Montessori school/centre. For the Montessori training, Assistants can enrol in the AMI Montessori Certificate Course and teachers can undertake the AMI Montessori Diploma Course (at the 0-3, 3-6 or 6-12 age level).
