The Peto Institute offers an 'award' (oklevél) but for some years now this has to be done in conjunction with teacher-training – hence the expression 'conductor-teacher' – completed either previously or concurrently.

Internationally four bodies have established training for conductor-teachers (or teacher-conductors, the terminology varies) to link local teacher-certification courses with input from the Petõ Institute. One of these (Keele University in the UK) has ceased operation but joint training continues with Tsad Kadima in Jerusalem (in Hebrew), ASPACE in Spain (in Spanish) and at Aquinas College in Grand Rapids Michigan. There are Mexican students studying on the Spanish course. Any teacher certification granted in conductor-teacher courses is of course specific to the state that grants it.

There is also a 'classic' all-age conductor-training course, at NICE in the UK. This is a degree course and can be converted/supplemented to create teacher certification if that is what individual graduates require where local arrangements provide for this through post-graduate study. The course is in English and is followed by students from a variety of countries.
