EBF CERTIFIED INSTRUCTOR PROGRAMS

 EBF LEVEL 1 CERTIFIED INSTRUCTOR

1. Level III certification is a prerequisite for being EBF Level 1 Certified instructor.

2. A current EBF Level 3 Coach can participate in the EBF Level 1 Instructor Course and after completing the course and passing the examinations they become a EBF Level 1 Instructor. They can conduct EBF Level 1 Clinics with the approval of and in co-operation with, the hosting National Federation. Participants of these Clinics follow the same Certification process as participants of EBF PROGRAMS.

3. A participant of an ongoing EBF Level 3 Clinic can inform EBF in advance that they wish to participate in the Level 1 Instructor testing day after the EBF Level 3 Clinic. Testing day is one day of written examination, classroom presentation and on-lane demonstration. EBF Instructors review the performance of these examinations and demonstrations and have the right to either pass it or fail it. The EBF Committee can also allow Level II coaches to enter the EBF Level 1 Instructor Course if the course will be held just before the Level III Clinic that the coach will participate in.

4. Failure in both cases will be evaluated by the instructors and a personal preparation program and method to re-enter the exam will be provided for participants.

Graduates of previous Level III programs must apply for EBF Level 1 Certified Instructor program or run their first event with an EBF instructor to be approved - if they did not present any Level I programs before January 2017.

The fees of the EBF Level 1 Instructor Course and EBF Level 1 Instructor Examination day will be announced later.

EBF LEVEL 2 CERTIFIED INSTRUCTOR

The EBF Level 2 Certified Instructor program will start in the last quarter of 2017. EBF will schedule a 4-5-day Clinic at the EBF Official Training and Education Centre (Kuortane, Finland) for training the candidates put forward by their federations to conduct Level II programs in their country. At the end of the Clinic, the EBF Instructor(s) will review the performance of the participant and approve a pass or not. In a failure case, the National Federation will get a report from the EBF Instructor about the participant’s performance and which topics need more practice and the process of the reevaluation.

The same program can also be delivered at the local Federation by inviting the EBF instructors.

Participants of the L2 Instructor course must be active Level I Instructors.

The fees of the EBF Level 2 Instructor Course will be announced later.
