Your Black Belt...                                                                                                                      Your grades relate to the syllabus in which you are trained. This in the realm of things is the subject matter that you as an instructor will teach. The subject matter added to the modules on this page qualify you as an instructor. The other qualifications are teaching qualifications that meet the national and international standards required.

International Training Programme (ITP)...
The I.T.P. allows you to run some of the qualifications including first aid in your own club, subject to doing the P.T.C. and the courses you want to teach. In addition to that it also allows you access to the training network so you can renew your qualifications conveniently and economically                               
Business Development Workshops                                  Instructors needing to develop advertising campaigns, coaching programmes and develop their clubs professionally can enrol into various courses as they are advertised.

Renewing Certification                                                                                                       If you are a teacher or instructor its worth remembering we must provide a duty of care and ignorance is no defence in the eyes of the law. The reality is certification need renewing so that you always are passing on up to date teaching information. As insurers and research bodies publish information courses are constantly updated and this information especially in first aid or health and safety is very important. All certificates should be renewed every two years.

 

Avoiding Potential Insurance Claims                                                                          Can you prove your qualified? Have you any evidence? Is is accredited from a national body? In the event of a claim what could you be asked for? Now we have no win no fee solicitors anyone can be taken to court, so in reality it better being safe than sorry. Many instructors will say they have been teaching for years, but court cases rely on evidence of that. How could they explain they new they were teaching correctly? Cowboy clubs threaten all legitimate schools, clubs and academies in martial arts. Grades are one issue but the most important issue is if you cant provide a duty of care and someone is injured you are liable. The health and safety of others is important and you can never be to careful, essentially though if you have the right knowledge, qualifications from a separate organisation you can provide the right evidence in the event of a claim.

 

Awards Schemes                                                                                                                Saying thank you, raising the profile of your academy, school or club can really motivate your membership and create long term loyalty. Using professional awards to help develop your market profile and loyalty also allows international networking so your members see you and your organisation as part of a bigger picture. The idea is to add values that stop your club looking like a holiday fund and add importance and credibility to martial arts. The two award schemes we support are through Black Belt International. The first scheme is the Student Accreditation Scheme or S.A.S. You tell us who the deserving students are in your school  is and they will be issued an award at an annual ceremony. Instructors can also be nominated for various awards, these are decided by our awards committee and instructors are notified and invited to the awards ceremony.
