  • EXPANDING THE REACH OF THE ETHICS COURSE INTO LEVEL ONE TEACHER TRAININGS

Sat Nam Dear Trainers,

We wish to bring your attention to the EPS’ Anti-Harassment and Ethics Course and would like to encourage you to recommend it to your teachers-in-training: for you Trainers it is an easy way to fulfill the Ethics requirement and it is a helpful tool for teachers to dive deeper into the KRI Code of Ethics.

We have framed the course between a prologue and a final survey to support a gentle entry into the material and to invite reflection and feedback, so the course can evolve in alignment with the needs of our global community.

Discover the prologue HERE. We hope its message resonates with you.

In service, Sat Nam, Manjot Singh Khalsa, executive director of SSSC Office of Ethics & Professional Standards (EPS)

NEW ATA TRAINER PORTAL IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER!

As you know, KRI is transitioning all data from the current Trainer Portal into the new ATA Trainer Portal on ZOHO CRM. We are now close to completing the migration of all records. This means we are in a short “bridge phase.” At this time, the only task trainers must continue to do in the old portal is the submission of new contracts. Please give special attention to the following instructions:

  • Do NOT enter any student lists into the old portal. Updated contact list templates  L1 program, L2 program, and 21 Stages program are already available.
  • Do NOT update certification status in the old portal. Contact ATA Admin if needed.
  • Submit all certificate requests by email directly to the ATA Administrator.
  • Contact the ATA Admin to start new ATA Applications or to complete the ones currently in progress.

We will keep you posted! Contact [email protected] if you have questions.

UPCOMING CHANGE: SPIRITUAL NAMES FEE INTRODUCTION — FROM THE SPIRITUAL NAMES OFFICE

Please be aware that the Spiritual Names Office will soon begin charging a fee for each spiritual name. Currently, spiritual names are issued on a donation basis, but this will change within the next month. It is essential that you know about this upcoming change, and please inform your networks about it. For more details, please read the full message here.

“GLOBAL TRAININGS UPDATE” ON KRI’S INSTAGRAM

One of the actions to promote KRI programs around the world will be to post upcoming and newly approved trainings (L1, L2, 21 Stages) in the form of a carousel post every 2 weeks. Each carousel would include up to 19 approved programs — not just a single one — and would serve as a regular community update to celebrate global momentum and support program visibility. For your program to appear on this carousel, please make sure to submit your contracts in ADVANCE and provide the most accurate and complete information.

IMPORTANT MARKETING TIP — PROGRAM WEBSITE

For many of the listed trainings on our PROGRAM DIRECTORY, the provided link leads only to the general homepage of a website, without any specific information about the training itself. From a marketing and user experience perspective, this creates a significant drop-off — visitors may not find what they are looking for and abandon the page, which means lost leads and less visibility for the trainings.

It might be worth considering a simple guideline, while submitting your contracts with KRI:

→ Only publish a website link if it leads directly to the training’s page.

→ If the direct link is not available yet, leave the field blank when submitting the contract. You can contact us to update the entry later once the correct link is ready.

This means we’re in a bit of a “bridge” phase. Here’s the key point: Please DO NOT enter any student lists into the old portal!

The L3 Steering Committee has opened a call for new members

The committee is responsible for the comprehensive oversight of all aspects related to Level 3. This includes managing prerequisites, certification requirements, the participant guide updates, approving Mela changes including location or format and addressing any specific issues that may arise concerning peer group dynamics and other related concerns. The meetings are monthly, alternating each month America/Asia and America/Europe time zones. If you are interested in joining us, please email the L3 administration.

Global Distributors – Attention Trainers outside the USA and Canada

KRI has a long-standing policy for trainers outside the USA and Canada to purchase their Teacher Training materials from a local distributor. By signing a KRI contract for a Level One or Level Two program, you agree to source your materials either directly from KRI (for programs held in the USA or Canada) or from a local distributor when available.

This is a gentle reminder to order your materials from your local distributor whenever possible. Often, these distributors are also the National Teachers’ Association. Ordering locally is not only more cost-effective and convenient, but also strengthens the local community.

Please note that you do not need to be a member of your local National Teachers’ Association to purchase the materials you need.To find your local distributor, CLICK HERE.
