Yea, it is not inexpensive. This Level 1 instruction mostly teaches all the basics in how to lead rides or clinics. It now includes an intro to teaching riding techniques (preliminary to Level 2 and 3). There's even a test(s), that a reasonable percentage will not pass.

Its serious stuff - not for the day tripper but those interested in getting serious, credentialed teaching training. I haven't taken the course but I'll bet you get what you pay for.
