A.C.T. Instructors
IMPORTANT NOTE
Having completed either one of the short or long weapons courses, the student will then have an opportunity to take another program. So for example, having become a Long weapon instructor, he will then have a choice of continuing to the Full coach (completing the short weapon program) or discontinuing.
Under no circumstance will the student pay more than 5500€ in the process of attaining full coach certification. That sum covers the entire training process and includes all the material as well as the examination fees. The diploma and any additional materials that might become relevant (the school keeps on evolving) will be provided at no additional charge. For example let’s say a new, important drill has been developed during the year of the certification program, such a drill will be explained and included in the program with no additional fees.
TO SUM IT UP
Each course is like a Major in the university. It gives a more “in-depth” view of the given subject
- Short weapons alone = 3500€
- Long weapons alone = 3500€
- The whole course (ACT full coach) = 5500€
So the courses vary from 3500€ to 5500$, spread out over 1.5-2 years of studies.
The standard is a one-hour-long lesson, once a week. Lessons can be taken twice a week as well but the recommended mode is once a week, this gives the student plenty of time to practice between lessons. That means say 100 lessons = 2 years of studies and then about 20 practical lessons 1 on 1 in the student’s country of residence or Israel. So it takes 1.5 to 2 years to complete the course. No shortcuts.
