Become a teacher of the Transcendental Meditation technique.

A growing demand for TM^® teachers across the United States

Teachers of the Transcendental Meditation® technique are greatly needed to meet the ever-expanding demand for the TM® program. In the United States, Certified TM Teachers are required for large programs for first responders, healthcare professionals, veterans and active military organizations and settings, as well as for teaching TM to the general public in many cities around the country.

New initiatives like the Consciousness Advisor^SM Program and the Meditate America campaign are increasing the number of people wanting to learn the Transcendental Meditation technique. Now is the time to become a Certified TM Teacher and bring this precious knowledge to the world.

Becoming a TM Teacher is transformational. You will gain the knowledge to “whisper infinity” to every individual in the world while transforming your own knowledge and experience of higher states of consciousness. The graduates of the TM Teacher Training Course (TTC) form a unique bond as part of Maharishi’s family of Governors of the Age of Enlightenment throughout the world.

In response to these growing demands, we are pleased to offer an International Transcendental Meditation Teacher Training Course each year to train and certify the next generation of TM teachers. Applications for this year’s TTC open on March 15, 2025. This allows time to complete the TTC Home Learning Program before leaving for the in-residence five-month TTC that starts on October 1, 2025.

A team of experienced TM teachers and administrators provides support and assistance to course participants throughout the application process and during the course itself. Following your TTC graduation and certification, you will receive continuing support and apprenticeship as you begin your TM teaching career.

Here’s how a full-time TM teacher in New York City describes his profession:

Everyone’s dream is to find a way to earn a living doing what they love. For me, TM has been a great career choice. Whether you are teaching corporate executives, kids in school, or veterans facing PTSD, people are so deeply appreciative when they find an effective tool offering profound personal development. It’s amazing to see how someone who has been suffering from PTSD and insomnia for years or decades can start feeling better in just a few days.
—Joshua Pittman, Certified TM Teacher
