POST COURSE
After passing the IPAF Instructor Examination and before receiving the Instructor License, Instructors need to be mentored for three days, usually by an IPAF Senior Instructor or Examiner. On the first day, the Instructor is mentored during the half-day theory and observes the mentor conducting the half-day practical. On the second day, the Instructor observes the mentor conducting the half-day theory and is mentored during the half-day practical. On the third day, the Instructor conducts a full-day course with theory and practical, under observation of the mentor. Mentoring must be carried out within six months of completion of the Instructor course. If it is not completed within this timescale, then the potential Instructor will need to complete the whole course.
