Assessment:

There are no formal written examinations. Certification as an instructor will be based on continuous assessment throughout the course, using both practical and written exercises, which will enable both you and us to monitor your progress and understanding. On the last day there will be a final practical exercise where you will be asked to deliver a short set of the Shibashi movements which will form part of the assessment protocol.
