Apprentice Practitioner (First level of the Teaching Program)Apprentice Practitioners pursue continuing Camelidynamics education through a greatdeal of individual study and clinic attendance, as well as, practice teaching lessons toothers at no cost. This continuing education and practice teaching allows the individualthe time to more fully understand and practice the Camelidynamics techniques andmethodologies, while learning the additional skills required for teaching others.
Practitioner (Teaching Private and Semi-Private Lessons &Consulting)A Practitioner pursues an evaluated course of continuing education and is (or has been)involved in the daily care or management of camelids. After successfully completing theirapprenticeship, the individual is evaluated and certified as a CamelidynamicsPractitioner. The individual continues to pursue an approved course of continuingeducation to refresh, refine and maintain their certification. Practitioners are certified toteach private, semi-private and group lessons* for up to 6-8 people. Lessons are focusedon specific Camelidynamics skills and methods with a significant hands-on componentand differ from workshops and clinics in both scope and organization. (To more fullyunderstand the definition of Lesson vs. Clinic/Workshop See Definitions in theAppendix.) The Practitioner may charge for their time, at competitive rates.
Instructor (Teaching Clinics or Workshops, Private & Semi-Private lessons, & Consulting)An Instructor has spent a number of years as a Camelidynamics Practitioner, continuesto teach private and semi-private lessons, and is (or has been) involved in the daily careor management of camelids. The Camelidynamics Instructor is certified to teachCamelidynamics one and two-day clinics, workshops up to 20 people, promotionaldemonstrations, and private and semi-private lessons and consult at competitive rates.
Once evaluated and invited to become a Camelidynamics Instructor, the individualcontinues to pursue an approved course of continuing education to refresh, refine andmaintain their certification.
Each applicant who participates in, and applies for, any level of teaching certification within theGuild, must pursue initial training and education, and must be committed to continuingeducation, evaluation and refinement of each certification, and be personally certified byCamelidynamics.

Additionally, there are a number of personal characteristics that any Guild member shouldpossess. They are:
Open-minded Willing to learn Non-Judgmental With Animals and People Ethical and Honest Supportive of Peers and the Camelid industry
Educational Units (EU)To meet the needs of a global organization in fluctuating economic times, the CamelidynamicsGuild has chosen to create a menu system of specific educational units to both attain andmaintain various certifications and teaching levels within the organization. This allows individualsto both choose from particular areas of interest that fit their current time and budget. Thefollowing pages list the educational units available to each level and certain REQUIRED EUs forattaining various certifications. A complete description of all the educational units currentlyoffered by Camelidynamics (and other organizations and educational institutions), and some ofthose that are under development and will be offered in the coming years is listed in Appendix.
At this point in the organizations growth, information is being submitted to Camelidynamics inmany forms. For this reason, each person in the teaching program will be asked to submit anannual report of educational components taken and experiences for that year.
Additionally, Camelidynamics will provide each level of certification in the Guild with a logo andstandardized text to advertise their Camelidynamics certifications on their personal/farmmarketing materials and websites. This material will be included in the Guidelines Appendix.
IMPORTANT NOTE:People with limited or past exposure to the Camelidynamics Philosophy and Methodologies mayhave become excited by its possibilities and present themselves as Camelidynamics teachers.They sometimes use the Camelidynamics name or logo in their biographical or farm informationand in the promotion of their workshops. While some may be good animal handlers, in somecases, the results have been detrimental to clients when they try to implement Camelidynamicswith limited or outdated training.
Occasionally, teachers with this type of limited background combine Camelidynamics conceptswith other approaches and different handling and training philosophies. These may bear asuperficial resemblance to Camelidynamics but are not recommended or endorsed by MartyMcGee Bennett, because they fundamentally alter the nature of the Camelidynamics Approach.
The Camelidynamics Approach is highly specialized and is constantly evolving. Currently,successful Camelidynamics Handlers, Practitioners, and Instructors have rigorous, on-going education and training in order to be able to represent the method and solve problemseffectively. A current list of certified handlers, practitioners, and instructors, of Camelidynamics, islisted on the Camelidynamics website (www.camelidynamics.com).
Camelidynamics will be happy to recommend qualified handlers, practitioners or instructors, aswell as, to offer an assessment of anyone who claims to be teaching the Camelidynamics
Approach, but may not be listed on the website. [email protected], if you haveany questions, comments, or concerns.

The Camelidynamics Handler Seal indicates that the individual has met minimum educationalrequirements (a minimum of one Basics Clinic and one Advanced Clinic) and has made acommitment to support the Guild Mission of treating the camelids in their care kindly, efficiently,safely and respectfully, and to work in such a way that the process is fun.
The Handler Seal is acknowledgement of this commitment. Individuals holding the seal areencouraged to use the Seal to promote and advertise that they use and endorse theCamelidynamics philosophy and methods. Camelidynamics is a very well known program andbrand. The seal can be a very powerful marketing tool that will help to differentiate you fromothers who have not invested in this education. This may be as a transporter, breeder,veterinarian, vet tech, shearer, ranch hand, or show handler.
Handlers are people who have achieved a level of proficiency in Camelidynamics and use themethods in their work with animals. What the seal does NOT do, is provide certification to teachothers. All handlers have been evaluated during the course of their training, and are certified byCamelidynamics.
Guild Benefits available to the Camelidynamics Handler are:
All the benefits of Associate membership (included in the dues of the Handler)
Use of the Camelidynamics Handler Seal on your marketing materials.
Listing on the Camelidynamics website, and the use of a link on your website to the
Camelidynamics Handler Seal web page. This page outlines the advantages of usingbreeders, veterinarians, transporters and other service providers that have qualified forthe handler seal. It is also a good marketing benefit to breeders and their farms.
Once certified, the handler has access to significant discounts for future Basics clinics toenhance or maintain their handler seal.
Discounts on the Camelid Companion book and Zephyr Halters and advance notice ofCamelidynamics training clinics and events.

This level within the teaching program provides an individual with several opportunities. TheApprentice has a very safe environment to decide if teaching, and/or the Practitioner program isfor them. If teaching is not what they choose, then it is certainly the hope of Camelidynamics thatthey will remain with the program as a Handler. On the other hand, individuals who would like tobecome future Practitioners or Instructors begin an apprenticeship, to gain proficiency with themethods of Camelidynamics and develop their teaching skills.
As part of the learning experience apprentices provide a limited amount of instruction to a verysmall number of people, at no charge. This minimizes the risk for the Apprentice,Camelidynamics, the animals involved in the lesson, and the student(s) receiving the instruction.Apprentice Practitioners will be evaluated by their students on both teaching and animal handlingskills. After each lesson the apprentice is also required to complete a self-evaluation of theiranimal and teaching skills. These evaluations will be sent directly to Camelidynamics.
The apprentice will also be required to do animal and teaching case studies, obtain additionaleducation, and receive valuable feedback from students.
