Instructors can also further their own freediving training (and find inspiration for teaching their students) with a 20% discount on Base Training + programs taught by elite freedivers.
Competitive fees
We know some of our instructors’ livelihoods come from their courses, so we stay competitive with our instructor fees. Plus, if you are a busy instructor or run a freediving school, you also get discounts on student registration fees based on volume!
Student registration fees include up-to-date manuals with the most comprehensive course content, access to further training after their course, early access and discounts on Molchanovs gear, and many other benefits. Students see this value - it keeps them returning to further their freediving education!
Support
As a Molchanovs instructor, your input is valuable to us, and your (and your students’) questions must be answered promptly! This is why we have a dedicated support team to answer questions and receive input from students and instructors.
Instructor Trainers (ITs) also have their own separate channels, giving them direct access to support. The Molchanovs Movement Board discusses topics and suggestions brought up by ITs to implement positive changes and allow the Molchanovs Freediving Education System to evolve constantly.
Seminars and webinars
We see instructors as an investment, which is why it is important for us to make sure they feel valued, satisfied, and up-to-date with everything freediving! We frequently hold seminars and webinars for Molchanovs Movement members, instructors, and Instructor Trainers to discuss developments in freediving, new techniques, the latest education material updates, and hear thoughts and suggestions. After all - it is their individual voices that shape our education system.
