How to become a certified Agile Kata Pro trainer?
We take great pride in teaching and coaching the Agile Kata. To ensure, participants in our sessions receive a high-quality professional experience, we have a train-the-trainer (TTT) process in place which all candidates will need to follow. This site should give an overview on the process and make it transparent. From start to finish, we estimate it will take between 3 to 6 months depending on your involvement, background and participation. If you have any questions, not answered below, please reach out to support@agilekata.pro.
Participate in any Agile Kata Pro Level 1 course (public enrollment or private course) and pass the certification assessment.
Submit Your Application by email to support@agilekata.pro and include:
Your Resume
Agile Kata Pro Level Certificate (PDF)
Tell us about yourself:
What makes you an outstanding trainer?
How can you make the Agile Kata community a better place?
Why are you a great addition to this trainer community?
If your application passes the initial review, we will invite you to a 60 minute online interview with 2-3 certified Agile Kata Pro trainers and yourself:
We will ask questions about your background and goals
You demonstrate your teaching skills in a 15-minute teaching moment (which does not need to be about the Agile Kata itself) and we will provide feedback right away about it.
If the interview was successful, we will both sign a license agreement which we will share with you once you submit your application. Expect the annual license fee to be between $750 and $1000, depending on what country you live in.
Participate in a 3h train-the-trainer session (online). This session is for you and we share some important information about the course (including instructor guide) to make you comfortable delivering the course.
We are asking you to provide a co-teaching moment with one of the existing certified Agile Kata Pro trainers. Depending on availability, you could be co-teaching the entire course or a portion of it.
Congratulations! You are a certified Agile Kata Pro trainer and can offer public or private courses.

We will invite you back to present another topic (not the same) only. You do not need to complete the entire interview again.

If you passed the teaching demonstration, but not the interview, we will invite you back for another session. In this case, you do not need to repeat the teaching demonstration.

To create transparency across the TTT interview process and teaching demonstration. We will of course never release the material beyond the use of the TTT process.
-
If your application did not pass initial review or interview you can incorporate the feedback in your learning and re-apply. We do recommend to space the applications.
If one of the elements of the interview session (interview or the teaching demonstration) was not successful we will work you to refine and continue forward in the process.

Please don’t call us, we will call you. Sometime we will need a few business weeks to review material.

There are no restrictions other than you being on camera. You can use any tool you like or no tool at all. Whatever works best for you, for your topic of choice and comfort level. We will be using zoom during the interview.
