Instructor Certification - Did you ever dream about teaching golf for a living, or being able to help others get better at golf. This would be a great school for you to look into. The reason we came up with this school is that we would rather have certified people out there helping other players, than reciting things they saw on TV or read in a magazine. All Participants receive a certificate, teaching manuals and great discounts on equipment, we carry most major brands. We also help with job placement in the golf industry as a professional instructor, call for info today 1-877-580-1500.

Nine-day teacher certification course is recognized as a fully certified member of the National Professional Golf Instructors Association. Fully certified members enjoy all the rights and privileges of the National Professional Golf Instructors Association. The certification requires successful completion of the written, verbal teaching, rules and the playing ability test. All members are eligible to participate in equipment discount programs with our golf industry partners. You DO NOT need to be a world class player to be able to teach. Often, the exact opposite is true. Some of the best teachers in the world are average players, but they possess the gift of being able to teach others.
