Can multiple people take the course/ What if I want all my staff to take the course, is there a group rate, or would I need to purchase individual course packages for each employee?

If you have a small group looking to take the education we suggest you purchase 1 full course kit/package and then purchase just the workbook and online exam at a discounted cost to match the number in your group. You can then each share the course CD, but each would have their own workbook and exam to complete the course. If you are working with a larger group we would suggest purchasing a couple complete set of the course package, and then purchasing the individual workbooks and online quizzes. 

Is there any form of renewal for the Twist Sport Conditioning Coach Education Products?

The Twist Sport Conditioning Coach Education Program provides continuing education credits for various organizations to help those who have professional credentials demonstrate continuing education (CECs).  There are no expiry dates, no renewal fees and no certification documents associated with this program.  Our coaching philosophy encourages all sport conditioning coaches have an open mind and to aspire to learn new information, skills and drills on an ongoing basis because there is always a better way to train the human machine.

If I have completed the courses for Silver or Gold Achievement already, do I have to go back and take the Bronze level courses?

Since the program is progressive and you have already completed the more difficult courses above the Bronze achievement, you are not required to take these courses.  If you are looking for new skills, drills and more practical ideas that are not covered in the Silver and Gold courses, then we recommend you take the Bronze courses to increase your coaching knowledge and build your toolbox.
