The RKC just got stronger……
Ever since my first RKC in 2003 I have sought to continually improve my skill and abilities as an instructor. Reading, practicing, lifting, thinking, trying things. Teaching, teaching and teaching some more. Attending multiple certifications as an assistant….. just to be around it.
Now, all this time later, the time has come. I have completed my last certification as a SRKC and have been promoted to Master RKC instructor. I am so incredibly grateful for the honor and privilege of representing Pavel, Dragondoor and the RKC system in this capacity.
I want to congratulate my good friends and colleagues on their promotions as well:
Geoff Neupert, Master RKC Instructor
Jeff O’Connor, Master RKC instructor
From the Dragon Door website: Master RKCs are appointed after extensive experience as a Senior RKC and after demonstrating the highest levels of integrity, commitment, teaching skills, leadership and personal physical ability. Master RKCs are the only RKCs with the authority to teach Dragon Door approved RKC certification workshops on their own. Dragon Door now offers in-house RKC certifications for appropriate organizations. Write to John Du Cane at jducane@dragondoor.com for more information
