How do you receive your training for certification?
When we developed this program, we thought long and hard about how
best to get this information to you, the private piano teacher.
We wanted to give you access to all of the training on YOUR
terms and on YOUR time schedule. After considering
options such as local workshops, on-site training classes, etc.,
we came to the conclusion that the most time-efficient and cost-effective
way for you to get the training and information you need would be
through internet-based video instruction.
Our certification program can be accessed 24 hours a day from any web connected computer with high-speed Internet access. (Click here to see exactly what is required. You can also try our test page that checks your system's readiness to view the material) This enables you to view the training videos at your leisure, not at our convenience. Our system will automatically keep track of your training progress and lead you sequentially through the chapter segments for each track. You will also have the ability to review any training segments that you have already completed should you wish to review anything.
How do I become certified and how long does the program
take?
After signing up online and paying your tuition (either with a credit card or by check,) we will immediately ship
your materials which you should receive in most cases in 3-5 days. You will want to have them when you begin the certification
training videos. While it is not necessary to be in front of your
piano when viewing the video training segments, we do suggest that
you have these materials in front of you so that you can work through
them with us as we discuss them in the videos.
Each of the (3) three tracks contains approximately (10) ten individual
video training segments ranging anywhere from 5-15 minutes in length.
The segments are presented sequentially. Our system tracks
your progress. Once you’ve completed viewing a segment, it
will allow you to move on to the next video. After you have
completed all of the segments within one track, you are certified
for that specific track. At this point, you will be notified by email how to begin receiving
your numerous benefits, such as the material discounts and your
listing in the “find a teacher” database. (see below)

is important to your studio, this is a terrific way to build your
studio’s enrollment!

never need to be concerned about not having the support you need should
any questions or concerns arise.
