Practitioner Training
If you can see the potential of this method for the people you work with — this is how to get trained.
Anyone wishing to implement the Ronnie Gardiner Method in their work must complete both Module 1 and Module 2. A Module 3 course is offered when sufficient interest is confirmed. Musical knowledge is useful but not a requirement.
Three training modules
RGM training is delivered in person by accredited trainers across the UK. Each module builds on the last and is designed to be immediately applicable in your clinical or educational practice.
Module 1
The first stage of RGM training — an introduction to the foundations of the method. No musical background required. On completion you receive a certificate personally signed by Ronnie Gardiner.
Module 2
The second stage of RGM training, completing your practitioner qualification. On successful completion of both Module 1 and Module 2 you become a certified RGM practitioner, listed on the UK directory and internationally recognised.
Module 3
The third and final stage — master the remaining RGM movements and complete your knowledge of the full movement vocabulary. Offered when sufficient interest is confirmed. Register your interest and we will contact you when a date is set.
Course schedule
We aim to run at least one Module 1 and one Module 2 course each year, at venues across the UK. Dates are confirmed when sufficient bookings are received.

RGM training is open to
Any qualified health or education professional. Musical knowledge is useful but not a requirement — what matters is your commitment to your clients and your curiosity about new approaches.
RGM works across all these areas
As a certified practitioner you will be equipped to deliver RGM across a wide range of clinical and educational contexts. The method adapts to each population while the core training gives you everything you need.
Neurological rehab
Stroke, Parkinson's, MS, ABI and PCS. Rebuild neural pathways, improve balance, coordination, memory and motor control through structured multisensory brain exercise.
Children and learning
ADHD, dyslexia, autism, dyspraxia and dyscalculia. The rhythmic structure helps regulate attention, focus and coordination. Children who struggle in traditional settings often thrive with RGM.
Healthy ageing and wellbeing
Dementia prevention, cognitive maintenance, depression and anxiety. The method reduces anxiety, improves mood and builds confidence — participants describe sessions as mentally stimulating and emotionally uplifting.
No dates are currently scheduled. Register your interest and we will contact you as soon as the next course is confirmed. Places are always limited to small cohorts.
