REN XUE International's Guided E-learning Teacher Training is a self-study option delivered through our E-learning platform.

The training is undertaken with a cohort over a set period and is supported by two experienced REN XUE teachers. Support includes weekly group sessions which alternate between ‘study groups’ via Zoom, where the teachers answer questions and trainees practice applying the learnings, and ‘buddy groups', where trainees undertake practice and discussion activities together.

We invite you to join us on this new Ren Xue teacher training experience - if you have questions at any stage of the process don't hesitate to contact us.

Read what other trainees have to say

It has been 100% worth it. I loved the contents, manual and website. Of course, also the teachers, buddy group, and everybody! I love the structure and pace…plus, every group Zoom Call was fun and exciting!!! I was eager to see everyone.

"The training has changed my life and my view on life.  Everything worked well for me during the training: the fact that we were on a schedule together helped me to keep the discipline, the sessions with the teachers gave so much additional information, the breakout groups where we met with trainees from other countries and the buddy group where it was so great to exchange in our ‘own language’. We really encouraged each other and are still doing that."

"This experience has been extremely positive. Vanessa and Simon have been knowledgeable, organized, gentle and warm. The length of time has been great as has been the manual, the website and video talks. Study groups have been super helpful in learning to articulate what has been gained as well as learning from others."

The experience has been tremendously beneficial to me.  I have realized how incredibly appropriate Ren Xue and Yuan Gong is for the times we are living in and how it can aid in uplifting humanity. Benefits of participating in this training have been enjoying a structure of the highlights of the original training retreat and being able to accomplish the work by going through the module and teachings methodically. I have enjoyed the check-in process bi-weekly and being able to ask any questions that come up from time to time. I have also enjoyed meeting other like-minded trainees from all over the world.

"My expectations regarding the Level 1 Teacher Training have been fully met. Without this training, I would most likely have galloped through the various methods with the goal of absorbing everything as quickly as possible in order to then make a big leap in the cultivation of my life. This training grounded me again to build a strong foundation for the entire Ren Xue system. Therefore, the decision to do this training was a very important and crucial step for my personal development."
