AimPoint Instructor Certification

AimPoint Certified Instructor Program

The AimPoint Level 1 License is a program for committed golf professionals to correctly learn the AimPoint Green Reading Method and other products and be licensed to teach it to their students. Once licensed, instructors have the opportunity to leverage a well-recognized golf brand, allowing the instructor to better promote themselves and their services. Being part of the AimPoint Certified Instructor network will give licensed instructors first access to leading edge information and education on AimPoint methods.

The purpose of the AimPoint Certified Instructor Program is:

To ensure that instructors have the highest level of AimPoint teaching proficiency and consistency and to provide them priority access to continuing education.
To provide instructors with additional revenue streams and the ability to leverage the AimPoint® branding.

It is important to note that an application to become an AimPoint Instructor does not guarantee acceptance into the program.

Training Process

AimPoint Certification is a training process which ensures that instructors are fully qualified to teach AimPoint concepts and methods. It consists of the application process and a one full day training period which can be conducted in Orlando with Mark Sweeney, in England with Jamie Donaldson, or in select locations in Asia including Shanghai and Kuala Lumpur.

1. Application

The application will be reviewed and initial approval to begin the training process will be granted or denied within 30 business days. Applicants who hold competing green-reading certifications will not be accepted. Upon acceptance, the license agreement must be signed prior to scheduling your training.

After training, the candidate will become an AimPoint Level 1 Certified Instructor who is qualified to teach AimPoint Green Reading and may use the AimPoint Certified logo.

Maintaining License

In order to maintain your license, each year you will be expected to teach and register a minimum of 25 students and attend continuing education. Failure to do so may result in your license becoming inactive or revoked. The AimPoint methods and associated materials are trademarked and patented assets owned by AimPoint Technologies with specific limitations on their use. Nothing in the license agreement grants ownership of any kind to the licensed instructor.
