Blue Belt
I was wondering, how many of you instructors have separate instructor qualifications? Is it integrated into your actual rank/belt? Or is it not required for your association or art?
This isn't a question on whether or not you need instructor certifications or not - as that can be a whole discussion on it's own. I was just interested in how other associations operate.
Our association has it's own instructor training built into our lessons, but the instructor status is awarded separately to rank (eg Kyo Sa Nim, Sa Bom Nim, etc)... Added to that, all of us instructors in our association have some sort of teaching or coaching certificate/qualification, it's not a requirement of our association, it just happened to be like that.
