This May Well Be One of the Most Important Letters You Have Ever Received!
At your request, we are pleased to provide you with the Golf Teacher Aptitude Test we make available to those interested in an honest evaluation of their golf teaching potential.
First of all, it is important for you to understand how the accuracy of the test was established. Frankly, its appearance is deceptively simple. But let me point out that time and time again, this test has proven its validity in helping talented men and women find their way to an intelligent decision.
Up to now, you may have felt you could become certified but were never quite sure as to the extent and scope of your talents.
Now, at least, you have the opportunity to determine whether you possess the qualifications, which can lead to certification and personal fulfillment.
For your own sake, may we suggest you make no decision about enrolling for special training—ours or anyone else’s—until you receive the expert analysis of our staff.
If you reveal the necessary basic aptitude, your evaluation will also point out the steps you can take to become a certified golf teaching professional, fully qualified to teach, inform, and inspire your students.
I would like to emphasize at this time that if we were principally concerned with acquiring new members for the Registry—any kind of members—we would not provide this qualifying test alone. As you can see, no application has been provided. We do not solicit your membership in this letter; your test analysis will come to you by mail.
If you do not submit your test, we will presume you are not interested in finding out the truth about your potentials to become certified.
The fact that no one has ever been—or ever will be—accepted by the Registry unless that person demonstrates genuine ability should be noted. Yes, our primary concern is—and has been since 1999—to discover whether a prospective member has NATURAL TALENT, and in letting him know about it.
And you must pass your test before we tell you anything about membership and the NRPGI™ golf teacher training and certification program.
Why do we go to so much trouble?
To protect both you AND the Registry. Being certified has many advantages but none more significant that the importance attached to your teaching certificate by prospective employers and students. Your teaching certificate attests to your professional ranking, and indicates that you have been judged and found qualified as a professional golf instructor.
Teaching golf is truly rewarding for the gifted student, but it can only lead to disappointment for those who lack the essential talent. The direct and ever-satisfying result of requiring members to demonstrate basic aptitude is the success of our members in the nearly two decades of NRPGI service.
Being certified will also give you a feeling of being much more than merely one of thousands. You become a part of a nationwide upgrading movement in the professionalism of golf teachers.
Furthermore, our unique and exclusive home study program offers the quickest start we know of to earnings. Students can actually START EARNING soon after the beginning of their training.
It is because the Registry training is so carefully directed to the needs of employers and the lesson-taking public that many members, who had never before attempted to teach, have been able to earn lesson fees quickly. Others who have been teaching for a long time have found the program the ideal way to improve their craftsmanship for broader acceptance while enhancing their credentials.
What about YOU?
Perhaps you want to give something back to golf by teaching in your spare time. On the other hand, you may lean toward becoming a full-time club pro.
Regardless of your particular aims, hopes, and dreams, the analysis of this test, while primarily designed to ascertain your certification potential, is equally important because it gives us the information we need to help you “find yourself” in golf and thus to best serve your individual talents.
Since the results of the test can play so vital a part in your fulfillment as a golf teaching professional and your aspirations for self-expression, I suggest you read carefully the first section headed, “The Purpose of the Test.” It tells you how to proceed and something of the “why” and “how” of the test itself.
Take your time—do your best—and then, for your own sake, submit your completed test as soon as you can by clicking “send” at the bottom.
When we report on your test, we shall at the same time, send our recommendations.
If, in our opinion, the NRPGI golf teacher training and certification program will be of immediate help to you, we shall send you absolutely FREE a brochure that will provide you with some thoroughly enjoyable reading.
The brochure describes in detail the unique activities and methods of the Registry. It explains how you can earn cash almost from the beginning of your training and presents the many profitable opportunities open to you in the golf instruction field.
Remember, please, our report on your test costs you nothing and does not obligate you in any way.
Even if we should recommend that you become a student-member of the Registry, the final decision is entirely up to you. If you do not submit the test, you will be telling us, indirectly, that you are not interested in the possibility of TEACHING GOLF FOR PROFIT.
But keep in mind that by accepting the challenge of this test, you will be in a sounder position to make your decision. That is why I so earnestly suggest that you complete your test and submit it now!
No representative will call on you.
