We ensure the highest quality instructors to the public by granting the CKI certification and upholding it as the recognized standard of excellence in kettlebell training. The CKI exam has two phases.
Phase 1
-The Workshop-
Certified kettlebell instructors must successfully complete a 2-day hands on workshop with the NKC or other recognized organization (CKC, IKFF). Once the workshop is completed your instructor will submit verification of attendance and skill level per your request. Once approved, you will be eligible to register for phase 2, the written portion of the CKI test.
