European Suzuki Association Teacher Training Manual Revised May 2022 Page 11 of 34 APPENDIX B3 TEACHER TRAINING COURSE REGISTRATION for Independent Teacher Training Courses At the meeting of the ESA Board of Directors held in Tallinn, Estonia, on March 16-17, 2013, some changes were made to the ESA rules on Teacher Training. • National Suzuki associations no longer have complete authority over SUZUKI™ Teacher Training Courses. A Teacher Trainer can organise his or her own Teacher Training Course in his/her country of residence, provided that this is organised in accordance with ESA rules. • A Teacher Trainer cannot set up his/her own SUZUKI™ Teacher Training Course offering full training inclusive of examinations in another country without the consent of the national Suzuki association in that country – this is intended to encourage collaboration rather than a request for permission. • In the event of consent being refused, the national Suzuki association must give the grounds for refusal in writing to the Teacher Trainer copied to the ESA Office. Grounds for refusal which are deemed reasonable are unfair competition which can be brought about by unjust and sometimes illegal attempts to gain unfair competitive advantage through false, fraudulent or unethical conduct. Examples of this might be where a Teacher Trainer – − undercuts the fees of another Teacher Trainer or national Suzuki association course − circulates misleading advertising about their courses − spreads rumours about the work of colleagues − infringes the SUZUKI™ Method trademark • If a Teacher Trainer wants to organise his/her own Teacher Training Course, he/she needs to complete an ESA Teacher Training Course Registration Form and send it to the ESA Office with a copy to the national Suzuki association. • There is a £50 Registration fee payable to the ESA for each course. Once payment is received, Registration is complete and the Course will be listed on the ESA website. • It is highly recommended that Teacher Trainers work together with the national Suzuki association and each other in the planning and execution of SUZUKI™ Teacher Training Courses and Examinations, as has been the case in many countries throughout the region. Teachers Trainers should keep their national Suzuki association informed by sending them – − a copy of the Course Registration Form − a list of teacher trainees registered on the course − the exam results for each trainee (these are also listed on the ESA website on each country page) • It is at the discretion of the national Suzuki association whether or not to provide a service to Teacher Trainers who choose to conduct Teacher Training Courses independently of the national Suzuki association.
