I.M.W.C.U. Membership does not infer Rank Certification.
To become certified one must participate in an authorized training program.
Instructor Certification
There are three Apprentice Instructor levels.
The Apprentice Instructor is able to head a training group under the authority of the IMWCU. The Apprentice
Instructor will be listed on the Association Web Site with contact information available to those looking for
instruction. Apprentice Instructors can NOT test their own students, so testing must be through a member of the
Association Testing Board.
The next level is the Associate Instructor. This is an instructor who has learned the entire empty hand
curriculum. This instructor can test their own students and make student certification recommendations to the
association. Students who wish to become Association Instructors must be tested directly by the Association
Testing Board
The next Instructor Level is Full Instructor. The Full Instructor becomes a member of the Association Testing
Board and can conduct Apprentice Instructor Testing.
The highest Instructor Level is Senior Instructor / Master Instructor. This instructor can test students at all
level, and so can conduct their own Instructor training Program under the authority of the IMWCU.
- This instructor will also be recommended for VTAA of HK Instructor Certification.
