Hi there, I live in the USA but I thought I would share my experience with you. I have completed my training with NAMC in March of 2008 and was offered a position as a Primary teacher in a school who hired AMI teachers exclusively for the last 35 years! On top of that, I live in Portland where AMI training is offered so a lot of AMI graduates also applied for this position I got with my NAMC training. What I am trying to say is that it is very possible to get a job after doing this program. Now, what gets me very frustrated is these so-called "AMI teachers" use non- Montessori material and method in their classroom (they use flashcards in a competitive way and interrupt the 3-hour work period to send children to another room for language class). That said, NAMC suggests that you start with an assistant position in order to learn the ropes. They offers a great training and their staff is always available to quickly answer any questions you may have. Someone mentioned that an NAMC graduate felt she did not have a good understanding of the "Montessori way". To that I would suggest that anyone doing a Montessori training should do some reading about it, even though it is not part of the NAMC curriculum. Good luck to you!
