The GBC Leadership, Training and Assessment Committee designed this six-day course in conjunction with the Vaisnava Training and Education (VTE) Ministry for all devotees with responsibility for managing, guiding and caring for others. For temples, it is particularly relevant for Department Heads and Temple Presidents. It is also helpful for congregational leaders, preachers, educators indeed, anyone interested in the leadership, management and interpersonal skills required to lead effectively within Prabhupada's mission.

The course facilitator will place particular emphasis on the understanding and assimilation of the principles and values behind effective Vaisnava leadership.

The VTE Teacher Training Course 2 is an intensive 36 hour seminar for devotees wishing to organize and facilitate VTE Courses, or aspiring to teach at comparable levels of competence. It is especially recommended for devotees pursuing ISKCON careers within outreach, training, education, etc.

The VTE Teacher Training Course 1 Certificate is a pre-requisite for this course (unless, and at the discretion of the VTE, the candidate has professional experience). This is a pre-requisite for the Mayapur Institute Bhakti-sastri Teacher Training Course.

This is a prerequisite for VTE Teacher Training Course 2 and the Mayapur Institute Bhakti-sastri Teacher Training Course. In this course, students will learn what constitutes effective teaching and facilitation by learning:

Some of the topics that the 'Transforming Family Relationships' seminar will cover are:

This course provides intensive training for prospective teachers of the Bhakti-sastri Course, and stresses teaching according to the Mayapur Institute's curriculum and pedagogy.
