Community Practicum Leadership Mentor
Students must find a mentor in their community to take them through the practicum components of the course, proctor their certification exam and assist in the student’s video skills assessments to be submitted to their CFES Educator or Skills Assessment Evaluator (SAE). The mentor should be an approved certified Instructor with teaching and supervisory experience themselves to take the student under their wings and guide them through the practicum components of the certification program.
The practicum components of the course is a series of aquatic fitness or group fitness class labs and assignments the student does under mentor supervision during and after their Instructor course. Certification completion procedures and documentation are in the course program resources and online courseware.
Once the student’s leadership mentor is confirmed the student would bring the mentor the course manual and program work booklet (or e-version resources) for both to review and complete together as the course conductor schedules various assignments. The leadership mentor and the student would work through the practicum labs and complete the documentation. The practicum documents are submitted to the course conductor on the courses’ scheduled submission dates.
