The 4-level RKC certification system is designed so that each level provides a complete kettlebell toolbox for a specific training scenario. From the very first session, you will learn not only the technique but also how to effectively pass it on.
D-License: Fundamentals for Group Classes and Walk-Ins
The D-License is aimed at fitness trainers who want to offer kettlebell workouts in an open-class format for walk-in clients. Here, the techniques suitable for this setting are taught, while also showing which movements – such as the swing – are less appropriate in this context. Additionally, a simple, applicable concept for program design is presented, optimally tailored to 'open class'.
C-License: For Instructors Who Want to Teach Technique
The C-License is ideal for kettlebell instructors who work with clients ready to learn technique. Whether you want to offer kettlebell classes, seminars, or personal training – here, you focus on the fundamentals of movement science. The spotlight is on two essential exercises: the swing and the Turkish get-up. You will learn not only the technique but also how to methodically prepare and convey it.
The B-License is aimed at trainers who work with clients who not only want to learn technique but also seek performance-oriented and intense training. It focuses on improving general physical preparedness (GPP) with challenging kettlebell workouts. Here, you deepen your knowledge and learn how to develop programs for ambitious athletes aimed at maximizing performance gains.
A-License: The Pinnacle of the RKC System
The A-License is the ultimate level that RKC has to offer. If you want to lead your clients to peak performance with the kettlebell – and are ready to push yourself to a new level – then the A-License is your goal. Here, the focus is on specialization (SPP) and mastering kettlebell training at the highest level.
Why RKC?
Each certification level logically builds on the previous one, yet each level also stands on its own and conveys a distinct, proven concept for a specific training scenario. Whether you are training beginners or guiding athletes to peak performance – RKC provides you with the tools and knowledge to achieve your goals.
