Your martial art is a subject matter like history or mathematics. If you wish to teach your subject you need to add a "professional teaching qualification" from a "recognised body". If you teach martial arts you cannot afford to be an amateur and your certification provides the evidence you meet the standard of a specific organisation who issues the certificate. The organisation issuing the certification must be recognised by your local council authority.   

Modules within the BBI martial arts instructors teaching qualifications are:

• ð Coaching (how the body learns and anatomy)

• ð First Aid (dealing with accidental injury)

• ð Health & Safety (avoiding risk and risk assessment)

• ð Child Protection (protecting children)

• ð PTC from the CIEH. (using neuro learning processes)

• ð Your Martial Art. (black belt or equiv)

We use a training provider who are an accredited centre with the Chartered Institute of Environmental Health  and the modules are stand alone qualifications. If you have been teaching for many years rest assured we wont teach you about martial arts. These modules together add up to a professional qualification which will make a real difference. The separate certification for the modules provide the evidence you need to show you are competent and recognised by your local authority.

Supporting the BBI allows you to gain and renew your qualifications at very low cost or for free with some promotions. Many members who support us develop their own training programmes which are recognised internationally.
