Montessori Teacher Training in Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia is expanding early childhood education under Vision 2030, and private kindergartens and international schools in Riyadh, Jeddah and the Eastern Province recruit early-years teachers.

You can study APTTI's Montessori teacher training online from Saudi Arabia: the Certificate (120 hours), Diploma (200 hours) or PG Diploma (240 hours). Fees are USD 170, 325 or 475. Entry is 10+2 or a degree. The certificate is APTTI's own: widely used for private preschool jobs, but not a local teaching licence.

  • Vision 2030 includes raising kindergarten enrolment, which has increased demand for trained early-years staff.

Documents and attestation

Gulf employers and visa authorities usually ask for educational documents to be attested: by the issuing country's authorities, the destination country's embassy, and then that country's Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Your degree or 10+2 certificate matters most for visas; ask admissions how APTTI supports attestation of its certificate.
