Is distance learning available? Where do the courses take place?
Yes, all teaching is done online via the UFM platform (or electronic correspondence) where students can download their modules in written format (PDF) as well as in audio format (MP3) for the most part, and by monthly video-conference for members of the association. There are, however, a number of annual face-to-face events which are not compulsory, but which provide an opportunity to meet in the flesh.
Can we begin at any time?
Absolutely. At any time, from anywhere in the world. The training does not require any pre-requisites (certificate, baccalaureate, etc).
How long does the training last?
There is no set duration for the training: You go at your own pace, when you want to. However, it is not advisable to take more than one module per month. (If you order a cycle, your modules will unlock one by one, automatically every 15 days). A module every 3 months is common among our students. One module a year, it looks like abandonment. The entire training programme is designed to last between one and five years, depending on the student, which leaves plenty of time to develop close relationships with the teaching staff.
Is it necessary to have diplomas or knowledge?
Not at all, you just need to know how to read and use a computer. That said, very often students have already studied everything, and come to us to find what they haven't found elsewhere. But that's not the rule. What's important is the relevance and consistency of the QUESTIONS, not the lessons learned. But the lessons we learn often help us to ask the right questions.
At what age can you start the training?
The training can be taken at any age.
Are there any equivalents with other training courses or diplomas?
None for the moment, because it's too specific.
Is support provided? Are there exchanges with teachers?
The very essence of the UFM is that it is not anonymous. There is frequent contact between students and teachers by Zoom, e-mail or telephone. And this can take place at any time depending on demand and availability. This is in addition to the normal monitoring via the platform: exchange of questionnaires, video-conferences, forum, etc.
Are there energetic exercises, practices other than intellectual ones ?
They are encouraged and described, but there is no follow-up. Everyone uses the advice given as they see fit. Energetic or spiritual practices are widespread, but the UFM teaches essentially what is exclusive to it: the metaphysical aspect of things, which underpins all practices, and is more intuitive than intellectual.
Does the training lead to a professional skill that can be practised? Can you become a coach ?
It would be highly desirable for this training to be used professionally by all coaches, therapists, teachers and mentors, as its contribution is invaluable. The effectiveness of all methods, particularly psychological ones, can only be greatly improved when we know what the mind is, where it comes from and how it works, which is not the case with other teachings. It also includes exclusive techniques and exercises.
Are the modules in video form ?
For the moment no, in PDF format for all the modules, with glossary and questionnaire to be returned, and in audio format (MP3) for most of them. Only module 3 is accompanied by a video to show the demonstration equipment. This may change in the future.
Why do you teach something other than what is taught at university? What legitimacy do you have to teach ?
What we teach has nothing to do with what is taught in universities, and even calls into question a number of theories learned in scientific circles. It's the only way to advance science and knowledge. It's student satisfaction that gives us our legitimacy. They are the sole judges of the value of these lessons. Officially, we are not an accredited training centre and do not have teaching diplomas. But it is, of course, perfectly legal to teach privately on subjects such as these.
Do you come out of this training transformed?
Yes, there's a testimonials page on the website where you can find out what students have to say about UFM training.
