Conductive Education Training
Conductive Education is a pedagogical system that aims to develop the personality, aiming at the development of orthofunction (correct function) through learning rather than just physical therapy. András Pető
The training program for the conductors is built around core areas of learning: team leadership and facilitation, life functioning skills, the individual and the group, orthofunctional personality, and management, organization, and environment. Each group stands on its own, allowing trainees to choose the most suitable starting point. Throughout each group, participants select learning goals with guidance from a conductor instructor, in a process that combines personal and group learning, practical experience, observation, and theoretical reflection. At the end of the program, trainees lead a final project presented at a professional seminar attended by colleagues and others.
Practical learning takes place in groups for seven hours per week, including guided mentorship, observation of peer groups, and reflective supervision. In addition, there is extensive theoretical study (about 180 hours), video-based learning for group analysis, and four annual intensive workshops at training centers. After graduation, participants join an alumni community for two additional years, continuing monthly learning sessions, case discussions, and field support visits. This creates an ongoing professional network that supports leadership, collaboration, and continuous development in the field.
