What Is A Certified Instructor? A Certified Instructor is someone who has either attended an instructor certification seminar with Dr Van Epp or has purchased the Instructor Certification Packet (ICP) and completed and passed the online certification test in either the PICK A Partner or the Marriage LINKS Program. Instructors facilitate discussion groups using either the PICK A Partner or the Marriage LINKS video series, or teach the programs using the Instructor's Manuals. Instructors are also able to receive discounts on participant workbooks.
The Instructor's Manuals are 100+ page manuals containing suggested group formats, extensive lesson plans with exercises and group activities for each of the five sessions, and research and theory sections. The Instructor Certification Packets (ICP) are required for the certification of all group facilitators and instructors, and one ICP per person.
