Credentials and Team

The bench, published up front.

Documentation of instructor credentials is a standard contract deliverable. Body Ops publishes its team so buyers do not have to ask.

Verified, not self-reported

Every instructor holds current certifications at all times, verified at the issuing registry. For embedded placements, credentials are verified before the practitioner reports.
