Certification Courses

Basic Instructor Certification

While any black belt can, and should take the Basic Instructor Course, it is designed primarily for the first and second degree black belt student.

The course is also designed to prepare the student to be an effective assistant instructor. Senior instructors may recommend any of their advanced students and young black belts for this training program. However, the Instructor Certification will NOT be awarded until the student has earned a black belt and assisted in six months of dojo/dojang training.
