Taking & passing this course means you qualify and register as BTC /TAGB instructor in your own right. However, May we at HED TKD clarify the following;
Regardless of why you actually decide to take the TAGB's Instructors course,passing it and becoming a Registered TAGB / BTC instructor. We confirm thatbeing a Registered instructor does not mean that you have to go on to run and/orteach at any club(s).
You can simply do this course purely for the fun and challenge of it if you wish and ofcourse to gain that particular qualification.
Having passed the instructors course however to stay qualified you must do the relevant & appropriate things each year/threeyears (ie: PL/PI; safeguarding & DBS) to be able to simply keep your status as a BTC registered Instructor.

(Any currently qualified Instructors who wish to open a school in their own name or even currently running a club/school already, may also apply to attend if you wish).
We hope this summary helps you.
