Moss art instructor training course
This course is for those who want to gain deeper knowledge about moss and those who want to work in a job related to moss.
Course outline
Why not take the first step towards doing what you love as a job?
As moss specialists, our association helps people to run their own classes as moss art instructors in their homes or public facilities such as community centers.
It covers a wide range of content, including detailed knowledge about the ecology of moss, the best ways to grow each type, how to create a variety of art pieces, and how to work as an instructor.
Of course, even those who do not plan to work as instructors are welcome to participate.
This is a recommended course for those who want to learn more about moss and acquire more knowledge about moss.
We also have a support system in place after completing the course, which includes the benefit of being able to purchase moss at a discount from a moss retailer that works with our association, the ability to use our association's name if you hold a course yourself, and the ability to do hourly wage work when our association holds courses.
After you have completed a total of three training sessions, you will be given a certificate. Furthermore, if you so wish, we will list your instructor's name (business name or group name) on our website. If you have a personal, business name or group website, you can also include a link to it. Certified instructors are also entitled to exhibit at sales shows and exhibitions. (Examination required)
