I started training instructors in 1989 and I began my Brian Manzella Certified Instructor (MCI) program in 2003. I created it to identify and educate talented golf professionals to assist them with their instruction goals. In the last 15 years, I've trained some of the best instructors in the game. When I felt the time was right for a wider reaching audience, the program was opened for all golf professionals in June 2015.
It is very exciting for me to be able to share the great information, knowledge and skills that I have been fortunate to learn and develop over the past 36 years, with lots of assistance from students, friends, teachers, and golf researchers.
The program's main goal is to increase the knowledge and skills of the attending instructor in a fun and interactive format. Real-world golf swing evaluation and improvement of golfers of all levels is the framework for all of the classes.
These classes are offered entirely through distance learning. Our meetings use ZOOM technology and are live and interactive. They are also recorded and can be watched by the attendees at any time. This will allow completion of the program on any schedule, worldwide. It is not required to view any of the classes live.
24 classes, one-hour classes are presented. approximately every two weeks. They will feature cutting-edge information from the Jacobs 3D, Trackman, Gears and my 36 years on the lesson tee.
The MCI program has 2 levels of instructor training:
Level 1 - Certified Instructor
Level 2 - Master Instructor
The cost for each level is $599
