Course Content

The Instructor Certification process requires a lot of background theory and understanding of Krav Maga. This takes time, valuable time in a live course which could be better spent doing physical drill and skills. 

Therefore KMU requires Instructor Candidates complete the theory section Online prior to attending the Live class so as to save time and maximize the live training schedule.

To be clear this is a TWO PART process with the Online Course being only Part 1.

This course is also suitable for Assistant Instructors who want to begin their development under the supervision of a Lead Instructor.

The course is completed in your own time at home with feedback given by Course Instructors. You must progress on a week by week basis. A course certificate is provided.

Following completion of this course students are eligible to attend a Live Test to become Practical Instructors.

The Course fee is $499 payale at the checkout.
