Assistant Instructor:
After helping one's own instructor and demonstrating ability and interest in teaching independently, a student can request to learn the Level 1 Instructor Program.

This program focuses not only on the ability to teach fundamental Wing Chun application skills, the Biu Jee form, and varying approaches to chi sao; but also an understanding and appreciation of other fighting systems. The Associate Instructor should also demonstrate creativity in explaining the Wing Chun style, as well as the ability to interpret core principles and innovate upon teaching methods. At this level, evaluation of the Instructor's capabilities will be based not only on his own performance, but on that of his best student as well.| Qualifications: |

To qualify for evaluation, the Associate Instructor must be nominated by his own Instructor and further submit a petition signed by 10 of his own classmates.
