Our three year full time training course at the University of Wolverhampton and the National Institute of Conductive Education (NICE) began in 1997. The university validates the academic degree BA (Hons) Conductive Education and provides modules from the portfolio of the Education Division such as Early Years, Special Needs and Inclusion and Education Studies.

NICE provides a comprehensive training base and provides the course’s core conductive modules. These modules have a strong practical base and include working in groups of children and adults with motor disorders alongside qualified conductors.

An honours degree on this course leads to conferment of Qualified Conductor Status. This is professional qualification enables individuals to work in Conductive Education settings worldwide.

Conductors are specialist educators who provide Conductive Education services. They work with children with conditions such the cerebral palsies and adults with conditions such as Parkinson’s, stroke and multiple sclerosis. Their work is new, different and exciting because they approach motor disorders and the problems that stem from them as problems of learning that are amenable to skilled, empathetic and structured teaching.

Conductive Education is provided across the world including UK, North America, Europe, New Zealand and Australia. It is a fast developing profession and this course plays a key role in training conductors to work in this expanding field. It is the only course available in the UK for the full training of qualified conductors.
