Awaken Studios Apprenticeship Program on-the-job Training
This is for individuals that have successfully complete a certification course and want to gain teaching experience with private sessions and/or group classes. All interns are required to commit to 12 hours of teaching before any possible regular classes may be offered. In return, all interns will receive invaluable real- world teaching experience that will help them grow tremendously as teachers.
Participating in the program give the Apprentice the opportunity to build their own clientele and establish their comprehension of fitness. It’s also a great experience to have on a resume and, as an added perk, Interns are allowed to use the studio for their personal practice or to practice teaching (as available). They will also receive feedback from their directors that allow them to progress quickly into a highly qualified instructor.
Compensation: $10.00 Per Hour.
