Instructor and Examiner Certification Program

USMA Instructor and Examiner Certification Program

To Support Your Professional Documentation. Many of our one thousand club leaders have requested that we establish an instructor and examiner certification program. They tell us that the organizations where they are starting or conducting Martial Arts classes often request them to provide these certifications.

Click here and see an example of these certificates.

We believe that these certifications should be tied in closely with our rank system, and so your Association has established the following instructor and examiner certification levels. Effective immediately, USMA Black Belts in all Martial Arts will be eligible to apply for instructor and examiner certification as follows:

Certified Instructor or Certified Examiner or both: May be awarded to First, Second, and Third Degree Black Belts Only.

Certified Master Instructor or Certified Master Examiner or both: May be awarded to Seventh, Eighth, Ninth Degree Black Belts Only.
