The exam is a practical examination where you will audibly instruct and demonstrate your teaching techniques for the moves in each level and demonstrate the moves or instruct a student in doing the moves.

The exam typically takes about 1-2 hours to complete and will be by video submission whenever you feel prepared to do so.
