A SCIM term is an opportunity to acquire the knowledge and skills to be considered as a qualified teacher of the DCI Global programs.
The upcoming term will be offered online.
SCIM will offer three to four programs per year. Each session will build on previous sessions and include new material.
To participate in a SCIM term, an individual must:
– Complete and submit the application form
– Be interviewed
– Be selected for the program
– Make full payment by payment date if you receive the Letter of Acceptance.
SCIM terms are planned for three to four sessions a year. It will take about 4 years to complete the 12 foundational levels of DCI Global teacher training and Diamond Mining modules of the program.
Geshe Michael Roach and selected DCI teachers will lead all classes. Geshe Michael Roach will teach a significant portion of the classes during the term.
The SCIM program classes are presented as training and preparation to teach courses offered by DCI Global and are derived from the teachings of ancient asian wisdom.
All applicants will be evaluated and considered for admission. SCIM observes a code of ethics which will be expected of all students and included as part of the training.
The SCIM terms prepare each individual to be considered as potential teaching candidates in the worldwide programs of DCI Global. Once a student has graduated from three SCIM terms, they may begin to seek teaching opportunities with DCI Global and its worldwide partners. It is, however, the prerogative of DCI Global and its worldwide partners, reserving all rights to decide whether or not to accept teacher trainees as teaching interns or for any other opportunities.
A SCIM term is the beginning of training in teaching DCI Global principles. Successful graduation from a required number of SCIM terms make an individual eligible to apply to DCI Global for teaching opportunities.
Yes! Our current terms take place online with translation available for different languages, including Chinese, Vietnamese, Japanese and Russian.
We will release details of other SCIM programs in additional locations when they become available in the future.
SCIM terms are planned to build on one another and continue indefinitely into the future. To receive a degree from SCIM, a student must attend all terms.
After application closes, the SCIM Admissions Committee will evaluate and select applicants for admission. (This process usually takes some time, so we appreciate your patience).
SCIM will let you know in writing or via e-mail whether you have been accepted, and ask you to pay your tuition. After the tuition has been paid, SCIM will send you your Confirmation of Enrollment. At this point we recommend you to make necessary arrangements to your schedule for a full-time commitment to the program.
The cost of the program is USD 3,300.
Small amount of financial aid may be available to qualified applicants
There are discounts available if you plan to attend several terms. Please get in contact with us for more information at admissions@sedonacollegeinternational.com
There is a limited amount of Financial Aid available to qualified applicants. Please contact our admissions team at admissions@sedonacollegeinternational.com if you are in need of Financial Aid.

All applicants will be given fair evaluation for admission. The SCIM Legacy Sessions are rigorous 14-day periods with a heavy schedule of learning and training. We strongly recommend that all applicants consider whether they are in strong enough physical and mental condition for the AS, so that they can focus on learning during this period of time.
The price is the same as that of the Legacy program, which is $3,300. However, there may be eligible discounts that you can apply.
We will prioritise the seat to those who have committed to attend STEP without having to attend other clashing courses.
However, if there are still available seats we will try to group you with others who has signed up the same courses so you can apply for special arrangement to avoid the clash and still be able to complete the term.
STEP offers you more time to digest and practice what you have learned in the morning classes, and also with the gamification system built into the platform, you will enjoy an experience of learning and having fun. We have also designed the Seed Partner mechanism and the online study zoom room to provide a learning community for you. If the morning On-Stage Workshop does not work for you, you may also be grouped into the night or weekend On-Stage Workshop based on what you have chosen in the registration form.
STEP enables you to apply in your daily life the seeds system while you are working or having family time, in order to deepen and strengthen your practice of the Seeds System. STEP covers 4 weeks in length, and logging seed partner activities will be compulsory to ensure successful completion of the program.
