Junior Instructor/ Sparring Instructor & Classroom/ Sparring Assistants
Current Course
We will be running a course for Classroom Assistants again this year.
There will be a selection assessment on Thursday 18th June 2026 at 5pm at Daventry Leisure Centre.
There will then be two x 2 hour training sessions. The first will be at 10am on Saturday 4th July. The second will be after the summer holidays. If you are unable to come to the session on 4th July, you are unlikely to be assessed as suitable.
There will then be a formal assessment by an external assessor in the autumn.

At least 10 years old;

Selection & Assessment Process
To be a Junior Instructor or Sparring Instructor, students have to be a Classroom Assistant or Sparring Assistant first. Once we are happy that a student is ready to move up a level, they will be invited to join the Junior Instructor/Sparring Instructor training course.
Trainees should note they should attend all the training sessions. There is no capacity for us to catch up missed sessions.
Existing Junior Instructors/Classroom Assistants are welcome to attend any of the classes as a refresher.
Location
All the training sessions will be held at:
Daventry Leisure Centre
Lodge Road
Daventry
NN11 4FP
Final Assessment
After completion of the course, candidates will be assessed by an external instructor, usually World Master Nikki Line. Students will be required to demonstrate practical teaching and undergo an oral theory test. Students must pass the assessment.
Allocated Classes
Both Junior Instructors and Classroom Assistants will be allocated a specified class to teach at. You should let us know if you will be unavailable to teach on your allocated session, and we would really appreciate it if you could try to swap with someone else if you become unavailable.
