Professional Qualifications for Martial Arts Instructor.

Recognised qualifications are certificates from accredited organisations known your local council authority, large national organisations like the N.H.S. and Government.

The BBI Karate and martial arts teaching qualification is separated into different modular sections and made up of different stand alone courses. All the courses meet the UK National Standards. When you have the 5 courses you are a qualified teacher. All you do then is add the subject matter which can be Karate, Kung Fu, Aikido, Kickboxing, MMA or any other martial art.

Our recommendations are the BBI UK National Training Programme. Courses for Child Protection, Health & Safety, First Aid and Coaching accompany the Professional Trainers Certificate (P.T.C.) from the Chartered Institute of Environmental Health (CIEH) give this recognised accreditation. download P.T.C. pdf leaflet click here

Many big business invests in training, have you ever wondered why? Not all training is a tax saver so why do big companies use it so much? Statistics show when business invests in the right training increased productivity is a likely outcome. More productivity means greater revenue.

By using separate courses to make up the teachers qualification you can see the benefits of doing them. Many may look at the qualification as being a nightmare but in reality they help recruitment and retention. The biggest benefit is that the certification from professionally accredited certification provides "EVIDENCE" you are qualified and your not just talking BS. Even if your been teaching 25 years how can you prove your doing it right?

Politics has hindered martial arts for many years many bodies offer qualifications to the amateur club instructor which constantly change and the person is forever paying for the next qualification. Many feel ripped off and sick to the teach with putting in more and more money for qualifications that change every time the organisation needs more cash. For this reason we have used national standards for professionals and we see no value in anything amateur.

As a professional you are in a "Continual Development Cycle" this means statistics from insurers and other sources reveal problems and as we learn more about first aid and the causes of these problems we can refine our teaching. The question is how does the new information get passed on?

BBI make provision for instructor to participate and refresh and renew qualifications annually. There are many innovative ways and schemes that provide funding or allow the instructors to attend without charge.

Courses and their uses:

Coaching: Teaches about anatomy, how we learn and mental techniques that confirm your students are learning.

Health & Safety: The premises need regular risk assessment to insure the training hall is safe.

Child Protection: How to recognise and avoid child abuse, keeping children safe in training.

First Aid: When things go wrong ensuring you can deal with incident management and accidents professionally.

P.T.C from the CIEH: Complete accreditation, assistant teaching qualification recognised by government.

The above synopsis is very brief and doesn't do the courses justice. In reality you will develop better communication and motivational skills that will help with student retention and recruitment. You will be able to run safer classes and develop the new skills you will acquire in the courses into cash from the class room. Your certificates will provide the evidence your a true professional that can be used to show anyone your the real deal.

CIEH Professional Trainer Certificate

A Training Qualification

The qualification has been developed as a successor to the CIEH Group Training Certificate, which since 1995 has been the benchmark trainer skills qualification for CIEH registered tutors. This replacement qualification extends the content of basic training techniques by encouraging a dynamic and flexible approach to training delivery, taking into account some of the recent advances in accelerated learning and Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP). However, it is still founded on a basic short-course training programme that can typically be delivered in three days, with an assessment based on delivery of a short training session at the conclusion of the programme. The qualification provides an opportunity to understand and practice a professional approach to training design and delivery, with a structured syllabus and assessment opportunity.

It is ideal for anyone who needs to either understand the basics of training practice, or wants to refine their training techniques. Those who have never delivered training before will find it an ideal basis for their future training activities. The qualification is essential for those who wish to become CIEH registered trainers (certain other training qualifications are also recognised, and conditions regarding technical knowledge and experience also apply). The programme will involve a significant amount of hands-on activity with additional work outside the sessions to develop the content and materials for assessment on the final day. The programme is quite demanding because it results in the acquisition of new skills and techniques over a short period.

Topic areas covered

The qualification will enable successful candidates to understand and put into practice the following:

■ How training can best be delivered to secure effective learning.
■ How to structure and design training sessions.
■ How to make training sessions interesting, stimulating and relevant.

Objectives

At the conclusion of the programme the expected learning outcomes are that the student will:

A. Training needs and objectives

■ Be able to match training sessions to the ability and needs of the students.
■ Understand how to set SMART training objectives and how to secure learners’ commitment to achieving them.

B. Learning styles and preferences

■ Be aware of the factors that influence learning and use a simple but effective structure for recognising and accommodating different learning preferences in any training situation.
■ Understand how students have preferences for receiving and assimilating information.

C. Training skills

■ Be able to select different and diverse training methods appropriately to meet different needs.

D. Training structure and design

■ Be able to design training sessions by carrying out effective planning and preparation.
