The RKC A-License is the highest training level in the RKC system – designed for coaches who want to not only teach but specifically develop performance. You won't learn any more "exercises" here; instead, you'll develop a deep understanding of specialized performance development (SPP) with the kettlebell.

RKC Kettlebell Trainer Certification - RKC A-License

What you will learn in the RKC A-License certification

Advanced Techniques and Their Methodical Structure

You will learn how to not only master complex kettlebell movements but also teach them at the highest level:

Pistol Squat
Windmill
Bent Press
Push Press & Jerk

You will receive didactically structured sequences with clear intermediate goals, correction approaches, and variations.
Typical error patterns will be analyzed and addressed with appropriate drills.

SPP – Specialized Performance Development

The A-License takes you into the realm of Special Purpose Preparation. You will learn:

Differences and transitions between GPP and SPP
How to specifically develop strength endurance, maximal strength, or movement control
Which training principles and parameters underpin long-term successful specialization (e.g., SAID principle, supercompensation, progression through regression)

RKC Programming – Expert-Level Training Planning

You will dive into the world of professional coaching and learn:

How to structure training blocks to achieve a specific performance goal
How to differentiate between volume, interval, and maximal strength training
How to manage performance progress based on physiological and subjective markers
How to design programs specifically for snatch tests, 1RM goals, or high-volume phases

Tools & Methods

You will work with classic and modern training models:

Waving the Load
Escalating Density Training (EDT)
5/3/1 – Wendler System
Viking Warrior Conditioning (Kenneth Jay)

You will learn how to integrate these models into the RKC system in a practical and measurable way.

Technical Depth Instead of Superficial Coaching

The A-License makes you an expert in:

precise movement analysis
didactic structuring of complex exercises
coaching at a high performance level

Your task is no longer just correcting. You lead – with planning, structure, and goal setting.

The Chapter for Experts

The RKC A-License is not a "level-up" – it is a system change.
You no longer work in training. You shape it – with maximum depth.

Welcome to the highest level.
