The National Circus School (NCS) is pleased to announce the opening of registrations for its programs leading to an Attestation of Collegial Studies (AEC) or a School Attestation (AEE) in circus arts education. These specialized training pathways prepare participants to become Initiators, Instructors, or Trainers, depending on the level selected.

Designed for teachers, coaches, educators, artists, and anyone interested in integrating circus-based movement into their professional environment, these programs offer a gateway into a dynamic and evolving field centred on movement, creativity, and inclusive learning.

Training is offered in person in Montreal or online, accessible from anywhere in the world. Please note that the Initiator program is offered exclusively in person.

Registration Period

  • AEC (in person): November 24, 2025 to February 27, 2026
