Becoming an certified Paverpol Instructor
What you need to know:
In this all inclusive course package, you will gain all the skills you need to become a certified Paverpol instructor.
To begin your Paverpol journey, you will take taking 2 introductory Paverpol courses from Curious Mondo. You will start with Beginning Sculpting with Fabric Hardener, which will teach you the basics. Then, you will move on to hone your skills with Intermediate Sculpting with Fabric Hardener. These courses are included in the cost of your Paverpol certification.
From there, you will move onto the next step: our Paverpol Instructor certification course. This course is designed specifically for those who want to share their creativity and make extra income hosting Paverpol classes. This certification will teach you all you need to know about the basics of working with Paverpol, and how to effectively teach this information to others. This course is all done online, beginning with a two day online course. This will show you the techniques and projects that will effectively teach you what you need to know about Paverpol. All Paverpol products will be covered in the 3 projects: 2 human sculptures and 1 abstract piece. This course is packed with knowledge and will involve lots of experimenting and new techniques to get you ready to create.
After the 2 day online course, you spend a 6 month period (or less, depending on your working speed) following along the course and making 3 sculptures. Two projects are human sculptures, and the other is an abstract art stone project. Beverly Oliwa will help you with this process, discussing the process and outcome of your work and providing a final critique. Together with Beverly, the two of you will decide from there if you feel you have gained enough base of experience to be an effective instructor.
Should you and Beverly come to the decision that you feel underprepared, you will receive the opportunity to improve your skills by making a few more sculptures. Then, an appointment can be made for a follow up review and discussion with Beverly to assess your progress and skill. Once you and Beverly feel that you are ready, after submitting your pieces you will receive an official certificate, identifying you as a certified Paverpol Instructor! Once certified, you will receive a 25% discount on purchases over $250.00!
You can enroll in this certification program any time, and every 90 days there will be an opportunity to have your pieces critiqued by Beverly Oliwa to help you along.

What Students Say
I took the Instructor Certification in Paverpol course with Beverly Oliwa through Curious Mondo and, wow! It was an extremely well organized, full of useful information two day course. Those of us who took it had previously taken either of her two Paverpol courses which seems to me a must as pre-requisite so it made this course easy to understand, having first hand knowledge of the material. Beverly covered the use of each Paverpol product, how to combine with the other products, how best to present and teach each level of class, time management, dealing with difficult students, fee structures, marketing and so much more! I highly recommend this course to anyone interested in art, in Paverpol or in making a commitment to improving yourself. You can only gain by taking this course. Thank you, Beverly and Curious Mondo.
