Instructor College

While many school owners are very talented martial artists, most have never received professional training as a teacher. The skills you learn at United Professionals´ Instructor Certification will enhance your presentation skills with the goal of teaching more exciting, educational and high spirited classes. You will find your retention will improve and students skills will improve faster. As a result you will also get more referrals.

You will discover the difference between what a student will tell you he or she wants and what you need to provide to make the experience at your school one that becomes a life long quest for students.

You will learn how to conduct exams that empower students, how to tie in Mat Chats and personal development, drill for skills that make students excel at their basics (while having fun), class planning, how to handle concerns, how to motivate students that may be losing interest, developing your curriculum so that upgrades are natural and students look forward to being on Masters or Leadership.

Most importantly you will leave with a master plan and manual so you can train additional staff members. Many schools use the material from Instructor Colleges as curriculum for their Leadership Programmes.
