C.L.A.S.S. Instructors
C.L.A.S.S. instructors are like class professors—they are dog training instructors who teach a C.L.A.S.S. curriculum to prepare students for the C.L.A.S.S. Evaluation. One does not need to be a C.L.A.S.S. Evaluator to teach a C.L.A.S.S. curriculum. It is free to sign up as a C.L.A.S.S. Instructor.
While APDT membership is not required to become a C.L.A.S.S. Instructor, we strongly suggest it. Read here about the benefits of becoming an Evaluator. The APDT is a professional organization of individual trainers who are committed to becoming better trainers through education. Learn about APDT Membership Benefits
