What is the difference between an Independent Instructor and a Teaching Site or Teaching Center?

Teaching Sites and Teaching Centers must be either a nonprofit organization with an independent board of directors, a government agency, or a legal entity that is not a sole proprietor (i.e. LLC, LLP, C-Corp, S-Corp,  or Partnership) and are able to train multiple Instructors under their license agreement.

Am I allowed to upgrade to a Teaching Site or Teaching Center later?

Independent Instructors that meet our business requirements may upgrade to either a Teaching Site or Teaching Center later and train additional Instructors. Registration and training fees will apply.
