Become a Teacher

“I love teach­ing this pro­gram. I’m never giv­ing it up!”  — NL

“I know this is impor­tant work. I am so glad I found your edu­ca­tional pro­gram, so I under­stand what to teach and why.”  — LB

Since 1984, DTP has trained group fit­ness instruc­tors, dance and yoga teach­ers, per­sonal train­ers, exer­cise phys­i­ol­o­gists, health care providers, move­ment spe­cial­ists, phys­i­cal ther­a­pists and other allied health pro­fes­sion­als. Our goal is to help indi­vid­u­als, facil­i­ties and insti­tu­tions bring safe, effec­tive, state-of-the-art pro­grams to as many women and infants as possible.

Options for Teach­ers

DTP offers the fol­low­ing three options for edu­ca­tion and train­ing.

All options require that a poten­tial teacher pass the Basic Pre/postnatal Cer­ti­fi­ca­tion exam.

OPTION 1: Basic Pre/postnatal Cer­ti­fi­ca­tion for indi­vid­u­als seek­ing pro­fes­sional and aca­d­e­mic edu­ca­tion, who plan to develop their own pro­grams, or already have their own programs.

The aca­d­e­mic course work is done by correspondence/online.

• Study guide and exam: $319 per teacher. (Practicum is optional.)

OPTION 2: Trade­mark License for those who wish to use any or all of our trade­names (Total Preg­nancy Fit­ness™, Danc­ing Thru Preg­nancy®, Mom-Baby Fit­ness™, Stroller­Dance™) and teach pro­grams that fol­low our time-tested guide­lines for activ­ity com­po­nents and procedures.

Indi­vid­u­als or small busi­nesses may pur­chase a yearly trade­mark license. Teach­ers receive assis­tance with class plan­ning and pro­gram devel­op­ment to insure safe and effec­tive teach­ing. The license includes guid­ance on oper­a­tions and mar­ket­ing. Licensees gain vis­i­bil­ity and cred­i­bil­ity through asso­ci­a­tion with DTP, Inc.  The Basic Cer­ti­fi­ca­tion (study guide & exam fees paid once only), Trade­mark Fee and Practicum are required.

• Study guide and exam: $319 per teacher. Dis­count for 10 or more teach­ers at once:  $279 per teacher.

• Annual fee for Trade­mark use: $250.

• Practicum:  no fee for first teacher; addi­tional teach­ers: $25.

OPTION 3: DTP® Cor­po­rate or Advanced License is only avail­able to health care or fit­ness orga­ni­za­tions such as hos­pi­tals or large fit­ness fran­chises that work closely with the DTP head­quar­ters on devel­op­ment, pro­ce­dures, mar­ket­ing, and research.

Basic Cer­ti­fi­ca­tion and Practicum are required for teach­ers. Advanced licensees agree to pay a one-time license fee plus quar­terly roy­al­ties as a per­cent­age of pro­gram pro­ceeds.
