Benefits of being a Molchanovs Instructor

Becoming a freediving instructor with the Molchanovs Freediving Education System comes with some serious perks. Not only will you be teaching from the most up-to-date, comprehensive teaching materials created by today’s top freedivers and educators – you also get extra benefits!

Instructor discounts

Who doesn’t love premium freediving gear at a discount, especially with such a wide range of Molchanovs products for every freediving level? As a Molchanovs instructor, you get a 15% discount on gear for yourself and items you want to sell to your students. We also keep you posted on special sales and instructor discounts throughout the year!

For instructors who want to make a large equipment purchase for their schools for the first time, we can offer abigger discount. For more information, send a message to asya@molchanovs.com.

Instructors can also further their own freediving training (and find inspiration for teaching their students) with a 20% discount on Base Training + programs taught by elite freedivers.

Competitive fees

We know some of our instructors’ livelihoods come from their courses, so we stay competitive with our instructor fees. Plus, if you are a busy instructor or run a freediving school, you also get discounts on student registration fees based on volume!

Student registration fees include up-to-date manuals with the most comprehensive course content, access to further training after their course, early access and discounts on Molchanovs gear, and many other benefits. Students see this value – it keeps them returning to further their freediving education!

Support

As a Molchanovs instructor, your input is valuable to us, and your (and your students’) questions must be answered promptly! This is why we have a dedicated support team to answer questions and receive input from students and instructors.

Instructor Trainers (ITs) also have their own separate channels, giving them direct access to support. The Molchanovs Movement Board discusses topics and suggestions brought up by ITs to implement positive changes and allow the Molchanovs Freediving Education System to evolve constantly.

Seminars and webinars

We see instructors as an investment, which is why it is important for us to make sure they feel valued, satisfied, and up-to-date with everything freediving! We frequently hold seminars and webinars for Molchanovs Movement members, instructors, and Instructor Trainers to discuss developments in freediving, new techniques, the latest education material updates, and hear thoughts and suggestions. After all – it is their individual voices that shape our education system.
