I have conceeded that I will never make a living of playing pool. I do have a good understanding of the rules and physics of the game though. I have actually 'taught' (using that term loosely) some people from time to time different aspects of how to play the game. I have not ever called myself an instructor though.
What are the steps that I would need to take to become a Certified Instructor? Pool School somewhere? ACS, BCA, WPA? Do these organization all have their own version of a Certified Instructor and would I need to jump through all of those hoops (probably all the same stuff) to become a Certified Instructor.
Lastly, what is the advantage of becoming Certified? Wouldn't a good instructor be rewarded for doing a good job and get referals from previous clients? I'm not looking to go national or anything, just operate at the local pool halls and out of my home.
Thanks for your help. If this subject has been covered here, maybe you could reference the threads that I could read.
Thanks...Ken
