Maintaining your Franchise Status

To maintain instructor certification, franchise instructors stay in good standing by following the Enform Instructor Handbook and teaching a minimum number of courses per year. This handbook is provided to instructors at training and is available on the Instructor Support Site.

Instructor certification remains valid for three years. Before certification expires, instructors must meet recertification criteria. Contact the Program Manager of the course for more details.
