Instructor Certification Guide
- Curriculum Familiarization: Spend at least two months on serious solo training with the De Campo 1-2-3 Original curriculum. The goal is to understand how the techniques work and feel confident in your movements.
- In-Depth Training: Schedule a private session (online or in person) with Maestro Paolo Pagaling or one of our certified instructors for comprehensive guidance on the curriculum. Master Jomalin will also monitor your progress. This phase may take several additional months.
- Readiness Assessment: Maestro Pagaling and Master Jomalin will assess your understanding and readiness for the Instructor exam. If they deem you ready, you will be scheduled for the examination.
- Examination Day: On exam day, you will lead a class of fellow online students, followed by a detailed demonstration and explanation of techniques from Elementary, High School, and College levels in front of fellow practitioners and a panel of instructors.
- Certification: If you are allowed to take the exam, you are likely to pass. Upon certification, you are authorized to teach the course and promote students up to Level 7.
- Promotion to Level II Magtutudlo: After promoting a student to Level 7 Hanas (Basic or Assistant Instructor), you become eligible for promotion to Level II Magtutudlo, provided your student passes the Level I Magtutudlo exam.
- Growing Your Tribe: Once promoted to Level II Magtutudlo, you and your apprentice are expected to expand your tribe by promoting students and nurturing future instructors.
