The TVS Certified Instructor Program is an intensive educational program that trains and certifies voice teachers how to teach TVS training techniques and methodology. As a member of an exclusive, International team of vocal experts, TVS voice instructors also participate in a world-wide brand and are partners in an International company that provides products and services for singers.
THERE ARE TWO LEVELS OF TVS CI:
1.TVS Master Certified Instructor: A TVS MCI is a certified instructor who has successfully completed the TVS CI Program, meets the TVS CI credential requirements and is actively teaching TVS. A TVS MCI helps manage a defined geographical region, assists in the training of TVS Competency candidates and participates in the development of future TVS innovations, events and products. This is a core leadership team member who is personally trained by Robert Lunte. Because a TVS MCI is needed only when TVS is seeking regional management for new markets, it is by invitation only.
2.TVS Certified Instructor: A TVS CI is a certified instructor who has successfully completed the TVS CI Program, meets the TVS CI credential requirements and is actively teaching TVS. A TVS CI has all the same opportunities a TVS MCI has, except they are a member of a team that is lead by a TVS MCI.
