Two of the recently completed Teacher Training Courses (TTCs) were held in the United States, in Maharishi Vedic City, Iowa, and Antrim, New Hampshire, with 25 participants from the US and Canada.

Other courses were held in MERU, Holland, and Seelisberg, Switzerland. The new graduates of these courses in Europe have now returned to begin teaching Transcendental Meditation in Australia, Belgium, Croatia, Egypt, Finland, Germany, Hamsa (Hungary), India, Israel, Italy, Kenya, New Zealand, Nigeria, United Arab Emirates, and the United Kingdom.

The two Asian TTCs now in progress are being held in Chanthaburi, Thailand, in a beautiful academy built according to Vastu principles of Vedic architecture. Enjoying these courses are participants from China, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Pakistan, Senegal, South Africa, and Uganda.
