Grading (instructors)
For students wishing to grade as an instructor, or for existing instructors looking to enhance their recognition within the industry, the PDC has introduced three levels of instructor excellence.
The requirements for each of the three grades have been decided democratically by all PDC Approved Schools Instructor Level 1. By complying with Approved Instuctor criteria, all PDC Approved instructors are automatically awarded Instructor Level 1 status. All level 1 instructors have; provided the PDC with copies of their insurance and
first aid certificates, confirmed that they are using safe poles, agreed to teach no more than three students to a pole
and have promised to keep their charges reasonable. This, along with a PDC requirement for instructors to have
three years experience means that over 60% of schools who have applied for PDC Approval have been turned down.
A PDC Level 1 instructor represents the highest level of professionalism and teaching quality within the pole fitness industry.
