Physical Competence: Movement Skill and Conditioning

We expect MovNat Certified Trainers to be physically skilled and conditioned in order to be able to demonstrate proper form and to be inspiring leaders.

Candidates will be required to demonstrate proficiency in a series of physical competence tests which are designed to assess both technique and performance. Failure to pass these tests will result in no certificate being awarded at the end of the course. The candidate will have three months after the training to submit video proof that they can pass the tests to receive their certification.

Quality Instructor-to-Student Ratio
The certification workshop maximum attendee limit will be enforced in order to maintain a quality instructor-to-student ratio. Thank you in advance for not requesting that we make special considerations for you by allowing you to register for the workshop once it has been sold out.

All workshops are on a FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED basis; we do not “reserve” spots in these events. Full attendance and participation is required in order to be considered eligible for certification; candidates not meeting this requirement will be awarded a Certificate of Attendance in lieu of the Certified MovNat Trainer credential.

Eligibility Requirements

Trainer Certification Prerequistes

  • Candidates must be at least 18 years old
  • Candidates must be CPR/AED certified (Documentation showing proof of eligibility will be submitted to the MovNat Certification Department after registration)

Prerequisite Timeframe

Candidates who do not meet the minimum eligibility requirements for the MovNat Trainer certification will be allowed to register. However, a certificate will not be awarded until all prerequisites have been met and documentation is on file with the MovNat Certification Department. Candidates will have no more than a 3-month grace period after successful completion of the certification workshop and exams to submit proof that prerequisites have been met.

Certification Disclaimer

Attendance of the MovNat Trainer Certification course does not guarantee certification of the attendee. In addition to the physical competency tests, and eligibility requirements, there will be written tests covering the material presented in the course. Failure to pass these tests will mean failure to receive the certification. These tests must be passed during the course. Several options are possible in case a participant fails one or several tests.
