The dojo instructor, both new and experienced, would benefit from this course. It is intended for instructors who teach students who are usually beginners or not very experienced. The focus is on fundamentals and skill development within a rather short time frame of interaction between the instructor and the participants (such as 1 or 2 classes weekly). This course appeals to a broad range of instructors and provides the basic building blocks of instruction as set out by the NCCP Karate Canada program.
Participants who complete this course will be Instructors In-Training and may go on to complete Instructor Certification or transition in the NCCP Competition stream to become a Trained or Certified Coach.
