The STEP-ALIVE “ONE ACCORD” steppers instructor certification is a continuing educational course that requires recertification every three years (as of April 29, 2011).
Prior certifications lasted two years. STEP-ALIVE, “ONE ACCORD” structured method of teaching the original basic steps of stepping and its many routines, insures the student that what is being taught by the instructor is up date, current and complies with STEP-ALIVE's standardized format. Instructors who do not complete and pass (70%) certification requirements in their first attempt (starting 4/29/2011), will be given a temporary one year certification and be required to return the next workshop year for full certification.
