Prepare is always interested in meeting new men and women who are considering a part-time career in self defense training. All our instructor candidates are required to first take the 16 – 20 hour Basics class. Instructor training consists of approximately 30 hours of training together with a minimum of approximately 80 hours of co-teaching and supervision. This typically takes a year or longer to complete. For new instructors who live in the tri-state area, Prepare only trains instructors to work for us. If you live outside of the tri-state area and are interested in our classes, hosting a program is a great way to get started.
