REASONS TO CHOOSE A-PAI

Thank you for considering the Aquatics & Fitness Professional Association - International certifications for your staff. There are several quality certification organizations in the U.S. each with their advantages and disadvantages.

Below are the top reasons for considering our organization based on quality, value, and customer service. Since we are a non-profit organization, our goal is to provide the instructor with the highest quality certification at the lowest cost, that is the least expensive to maintain and the most flexible.

We provide nationally recognized certifications at the lowest regular price.
We have the lowest price membership that allows members an additional 10% off our homestudies and workshops as well as a newsletter.
We keep our costs down in printing and production and pass the savings on to our instructors.
We do not charge our instructors to petition to use other organizations continuing education credits or college level classes in health or fitness when recertifying.
We are constantly adding new certifications and courses that help instructors expand their knowledge base and help expand their certification base while renewing their existing certifications.
We believe in emphasizing doing what is best for the participants and clients, not what is financially best for the instructor or trainer. Integrity and honestly are our policy.
We believe that education, knowledge, and understanding are as important as creativity, musical phasing, and patterning. All of our workshops and courses emphasize the proper balance between education and performance.

HOSTING AN A-PAI WEEKEND

We would need to confer on a date, the workshops and certifications you would like. Below are the general layouts for a weekend. It can be modified to meet the needs of your facility.

 

COMBINATION CERTIFICATION AND WORKSHOP WEEKEND

      Any of the certifications take 8 hours for the lectures, practical demonstrations, and testing. The can be a one day or divided over 2 days depending on your pool and lecture availability. 2 different certification can be presented in one weekend.

      Depending on your facilities availability we can do a maximum of one workshop Friday night. A certification and 1 workshop on Saturday and 3 workshops or another certification and 1 workshop on Sunday. This would represent 4 hours on Friday and 12 hours on Saturday and 12 hours on Sunday. You can choose a reduced or rearranged format to fit your facilities hours and needs.

WORKSHOP ONLY WEEKEND           

We can do up to 7 workshops from Friday night to Sunday night. You can choose a reduced or rearranged format to fit your facilities hours and needs.

      ** We do not require exclusive use of the pool during the practical portions only a designated area of the pool. Members of your facility can join in the pool practical demos of any workshop for free and workout with their instructors. You can decide if you want to charge them a fee or offer it for free so make it easier on your members.

HOST FACILITY COMPENSATION

1. Provide housing for the presenter either by having them stay with one of your employees or at a hotel and receive one free certification or 2 workshops.

2. You can choose 20% off the certifications and workshops and for your employees and 5% cash back of non-employee certifications and workshops, or

*We still need to have the registrations for your employees sent in before the certification weekend so they can study and prepare. If you have arranged housing, we will need to know which employee(s) is receiving the free certification or workshops. Checks are not cashed until the day before the weekend.

** All additional continuing education credits earned on this weekend count toward your employees’ renewal which is due every two years, even if they have to retake part of the certification examinations for $35.

A $200 retainer fee is required for us to start advertising the weekend. We send out flyers to facilities in your state and surrounding states and to all instructors certified who are on our mailing lists.
