After learning about the benefits of Nordic Walking, I felt it would be a great activity for me to introduce to my community. Living in a small, remote town in Wyoming, however, it is often difficult and expensive to travel outside the area to attend training for new activities. Therefore, I was very happy to discover that ANWA offered a remote online training in basic and advanced levels of Nordic Walking. Bernd Zimmermann provided all the materials I needed for the certification, including a skills DVD, and met with me several times to review videos of my walking technique. After achieving my Basic Certification, Bernd provided ongoing support to help me successfully teach several classes. Not only was completing the online certifications for both the basic and advanced levels easy and successful, I enjoyed the one-on-one coaching that I would not have received in a group setting.
I am a former x-country ski racer, currently a Leki Trained Nordic Walking Instructor, and have been using poles for training since the 1970’s. Recently, I attended the ANWA Instructor Certification Course in Schaumburg, Illinois, conducted by Gottfried Kurmer. Mr. Kurmer is recognized as one of the original Nordic Walking Master Trainers in Europe.<br><br>
Going into the Program, my expectations were very high, as I have heard of Mr. Kurmer’s reputation and have previous viewed Leki Instructional Videos featuring him. I must say, in all sincerity, that the ANWA Course, and Gottfried Kurmer, in particular, exceeded my expectations! It is easy to see why Mr. Kurmer is recognized as one of the best Nordic Walking Instructors in the world. Indeed, he is! I learned more about Nordic Walking Technique in one weekend with Mr. Kurmer than in my previous total Nordic Walking experience. I highly recommend taking the ANWA Course!
In February 2016 I signed up for the Online Basic Nordic Walking Instructor Training through www.anwa.us. In the beginning I was not so sure if I could learn the Nordic Walking technique without taking a seminar in person at the headquarters in L.A. It went very well. I first learned the practical material and sent video clips about my practice to the CEO and Master Coach Bernd Zimmermann. After reviewing my practical Nordic Walking skills that I have learned through a very professional DVD produced by the ANWA headquarters I had several Skype and phone sessions with Bernd Zimmermann to discuss my Nordic Walking style and mistakes I was making. I also studied a theoretic part and I had to complete a quiz with questions and answers. Bernd Zimmermann made a tremendous effort to stay in touch with me once a week during and after the certification so that he could answer all of my questions. His one-on-one coaching has been outstanding for me and I can highly recommend the Nordic Walking Remote Online Training to everyone.
