How qualified is your teacher or trainer? What's the difference between Certifications, Registrations, Apprenticeships, and a Master?
A Certification may only need to require reading course information online and passing the online test at home. Example: Personal trainer (NASM,ACE, ISSA, etc, or certified yoga teacher)
A Registration always involves extensive in person training, a physical demonstration of skill development, and passing a written test. Example: Registered Yoga teacher, Registered Nurse, Registered Psychologist, Registered Psychotherapist, etc.
An Apprenticeship always involves being accepted or chosen to train under a Master and passing all of the required initiations to develop into a Master! Example: Martial arts Master, Shaman, Altomisayoq, Medicine person, Swami, Paramahamsa, etc.
