OK, help me out PTs, HKCs and RKCs. If I were going to create one or more CEC courses for ongoing education for you guys, what would you like to see?

Marketing?

Performance training?

Mobility?

I can pretty much do anything, as long as there would be a decent need for it. Not instructor level as we have HKC/ RKC for that. Courses would also need to be for those who have attended some kind of KB cert already (preferably ours obviously so I can at least know they'll be safe and we won't need to spend 3 hours on swing revision).

Program Design?

I'm always keen on more mobility stuff and progressions/regressions

Program design

Initial Sessions/assessments

Goal Setting

Programming for groups

Teaching the motor moron


Edit: Another way of looking at which CECs to offer is to think what knowledge makes a well rounded trainer? The less glamorous subjects (to some) in these area might be basic functional anatomy, exercise physiology, nutrition, rehab, sports/client psychology, etc.

Marketing would be interesting - How you identify a target market, forms of marketing etc

Program design

Chris - I'd love top go down that path, and have even considered creating a Cert IV/ DD PT course curriculum. But I'm not sure it'd be worthwhile as there wouldn't be many takers for a course that would likely take over a year to complete and cost around $10,000. It would include HKC, RKC and CK FMS. On top of that it'd be a mentor based program where students would have to work at my place at various times and we would work over a year to develop a business plan for them to go ahead with after completing the course.

On programming -

A course that features one element of program design, or multiple different variations? I mean, I can talk about fat loss for days. Performance training too. As well as where KBs fit into performance training, or as their own stand alone element.

I could also do conditioning, muscle growth and rehab.

Do they all warrant their own course, or a two day all in one kind of course looking at, say 4 of them, and spending half a day on each?

Keep this going guys. The more info I get the better this can be. I'm looking to kick this off in the second half of the year.
