David Gorman has been developing the LearningMethods work since 1995 from a background of some 30 years of research and discovery about our human structure and function, and over 25 years of clinical practice and teaching.

Mr. Gorman has developed a rigorous program to train new LearningMethods Teachers, and there are now a growing number of licensed LearningMethods Teachers in Europe and North America, as well as many LearningMethods Apprentice-Teachers currently in various stages of training. All LearningMethods Teachers subscribe to a Code of Professional Conduct and are re-licensed and re-assessed in their skills as teachers every two years.
