Q: How do I become a Certified GYROKINESIS Trainer? GYROKINESIS Training: For a more thorough explanation of the GYROKINESIS Certification Process, please use this link, Gyrokinesis Level 1 Curriculum. Briefly, it is highly recommended that you first take some GYROKINESIS classes at any studio near you that offers such lessons. You can perform a search for the closest studio near you by clicking on the Main Studios link on the Studio Finder page. Keep in mind that the number of studios that offer GYROKINESIS classes, though growing, is still much less then the studios offering just GYROTONIC lessons, thus you may have to travel further. By calling any studio, you can determine if they offer GYROKINESIS classes. After taking some GYROKINESIS classes, with the assistance of the GYROKINESIS Trainer you will be able to assess if you are physically prepared to enroll and participate in the Pre-Training Course, the first Course you will need to take if you want to become a Certified Trainer. Once you feel that you are prepared to enroll in a GYROKINESIS Pre-Training Course, you can then contact a Pre-Trainer to find out that Pre-Trainer's schedule and register for a course. Keep in mind that you can also take your initial GYROKINESIS classes prior to enrolling in the Pre-Training Course with a Pre-Trainer also. If you have taken beginning classes with another Gyrokinesis Trainer, the Pre-Trainer may require you to take a class or more classes with her/him to be able to assess your abilities and to see if you are ready to undertake the Pre-Training Course. To locate a GYROKINESIS Pre-Trainer in your area, or in any city, state or country, please use the GYROKINESIS Pre-Trainer Studios link on the Studio Finder page. If you successfully complete the Pre-Training Course, the Pre-Trainer will give to you the Pre-Training Qualification Agreement, which is your ticket or passport into a GYROKINESIS Foundation Course. Pre-Trainers reserve the right to decline giving to any student the Pre-Training Qualification Agreement, if the Pre-Trainer assesses that a student is not ready or prepared for the GYROKINESIS Foundation Course. The GYROKINESIS Foundation Course is the second course you will need to complete if you want to become a Certified GYROKINESIS Trainer. You have 3 months to enroll in a GYROKINESIS Foundation Course once you complete the Pre-Training Course. Thus, it is easier if you research the schedules of Pre-Trainers and Master Trainers by contacting them so that you will be able to begin the Foundation Course within 3 months after completing the Pre-Training Course, getting "all of your ducks in a row", so to speak. You can take the GYROKINESIS Foundation Course at any GYROKINESIS Master Trainer Studio in the world. You can contact the Master Trainer of your choice to obtain her/his schedule. You can also take your initial GYROKINESIS classes and the Pre-Training Course at these Master Trainers' Studios. Once you complete the 9-day, 36 to 54 hour Foundation Course, you are a Licensed GYROKINESIS Trainer, on your way to becoming Certified, and you enter the Apprentice Period. At this stage you can begin teaching GYROKINESIS classes, in both group and private settings. As an Apprentice, you will log these classes/hours on the Apprentice Log Sheet that you will receive at the Foundation Course. You both log the hours you accumulate by teaching classes to clients, called Client Hours, and the hours spent with your Master Trainer during the Apprentice Period, called Supervised Apprentice Hours. During the 1-year Apprentice Period, you will need to meet at some point with the your Master Trainer to complete these Supervised Apprentice Hours, and at the Foundation Course the Master Trainer will also discuss with you the particulars of the Apprentice Period. You have 1 year to get Certified after completing the Foundation Course, i.e the Apprentice Period can last up to a 1 year. Keep in mind that you will network with your Master Trainer and Apprentice "under" her/him during the 1-year Apprentice Period, or with another Master Trainer should circumstances dictate that you switch Master Trainers. However, you must complete all of your Supervised Apprentice Hours with one Master Trainer only, you cannot split your hours between 2 Master Trainers. And once you are Certified you may either complete your Continuing Education requirements with the Master Trainer with whom you have taken the Foundation Course, or with ONE other Master Trainer. Once you have completed the necessary Client Hours and Master Trainer Supervised Hours, and after 6 months have elapsed since you completed the Foundation Course, you can then enroll in the 2-day, GYROKINESIS Level 1 Certification Course. You can always click here to see the Gyrokinesis Level 1 Certification Schedule Again, you have 1 year to complete the 3-day Certification Course once you complete the Foundation Course. After you complete the Foundation Course but before you complete the Certification Course, you are an Apprentice and you can call yourself a Licensed GYROKINESIS® Trainer. Once you complete the Certification Course, you can then call yourself a Certified GYROKINESIS® Trainer and can advertise yourself as such. In summation, here are the steps you need to take to become a Certified Gyrokinesis Trainer: 1) take private or group classes, to gain experience, and prepare you for 2) the Gyrokinesis Pre-training Course, which prepares and qualifies you for 3) the Gyrokinesis Foundation Course, the completion of which will launch you into 4) the Apprentice Period, which you can take a year to complete, said completion making you eligible for 5) the Gyrokinesis Certification Course (Note: you become Licensed and you can begin teaching clients |
