Rotary Swing Tour Level 1 Certification

Rotary Swing Tour (RST) Certification is reserved for the very brightest and knowledgable instructors in the world. When students take lessons from RST Certified golf instructors, they are guaranteed to be working with the most extensively trained and tested golf instructors anywhere.

To become RST Certified is not easy. The tests are very hard and require a deep understanding of many disciplines typical golf isntructor training neglects.

It is required that all potential candidates progress through each level, starting with the Level 1 certification. Once Level 1 is passed, you will have attained knowledge and understanding about the golf swing that will far surpass anything available to anyone else in the golf instruction industry and will be well on your way to becoming one of the select few "Master Rotary Swing Instructors."

Level 1 Certification

The first certification level is primarily focused on increasing the instructor's knowledge base so he or she can teach the fundamentals of the safest, most efficient swing based on current research while maximizing students' practice time and effecting real change. The information that must be learned just to pass Level 1 requires on average 100 hours of study on swing mechanics, physics, anatomy, biomechanics, physiology and more.

To prepare for the Level 1 exam, the RST Level 1 Certification Manual is required reading material. You can purchase the manual below. The videos on the RotarySwing.com website under RST are also required review material. The questions for the exam are taken from material both from the Certification Manual and the online videos. Attendance at a Rotary Swing Tour clinic will also greatly assist in learning the material but is not required. Once you feel you are ready, you can enroll to take the exam.

You may take the exam as many times as is required to pass but can only take the exam once per week if you fail on the prior attempt. To gain Level 1 Certified status requires that you complete an online test and score a minimum of 90%. The test has well over 100 multiple choice questions and must be completed in 90 minutes.
