Frequently asked questions

Is the Montessori course fully online?

Yes. You study the modules online at your own pace, complete MCQs after each module and submit assignments online. There is no compulsory classroom attendance.

What are the fees?

Certificate ₹10,000 + GST or USD 170; Diploma ₹20,000 + GST or USD 325; PG Diploma ₹30,000 + GST or USD 475. Ask admissions about instalments before you apply.

Who can join?

The published entry requirement is 10+2 (higher secondary) or a bachelor's degree. Admissions can confirm whether your qualification fits a particular level.

How long do the courses take?

Certificate: 120 hours over about 6 months. Diploma: 200 hours over about 10 months. PG Diploma: 240 hours over about 12 months.

Does the course include hands-on work with Montessori materials?

The courses teach how the materials are presented and why. Because study is online, you practise with materials you can access or make; there is no supervised in-person practicum. If a school needs a supervised practicum, check before enrolling.

Is this an AMI, AMS or MACTE-accredited diploma?

No. It is APTTI's own certificate. AMI and AMS run their own training centres, and MACTE accredits programmes that include residency and practicum requirements. If a job asks specifically for AMI, AMS or MACTE, this course will not meet that requirement.
