The purpose of the Instructor's Program is to create highly qualified Martial Arts teachers that can professionally promote the Chan's Kung Fu School curriculums, and carry on the traditional Wing Chun, Jow Ga and Tai Chi systems to future generations. Master Chan has put years of hard work and dedicated training into creating the Kung Fu programs. He expects the same from his students that wish to become instructors.
   The most important step to become an instructor is to first become a dedicated student. The student must spend years of dedicated training in the Wing Chun or Jow Ga or Tai Chi system, learning the basic and advanced concepts of the art. The student must also realize that knowing the system doesn't in itself make an instructor. This is only the first step towards the goal.
   Once Master Chan feels that the students has put in the time to intimately understand all the facets of the system(s), he may then choose to begin teaching the student how to teach. Working closely together in a live class environment, Master Chan will introduce the student to teaching. This usually begins with the breaking the system and forms down to a level that a beginning student can understand. The advanced student must remember what it's like to be a new student and how complicated even the most basic techniques feel to new Kung Fu students.
   The instructor program directly mirrors the student program. The instructor-in-training will build upon his teaching skills, progressing through the Wing Chun or Jow Ga or Tai Chi system, much as he did as a student. Only when Master Chan feels that the student has shown dedication to learning how to teach, he will award the student an Instructor Certificate.
