FAQ
Can anyone enroll into the CMAT?
Yes. Anyone can enroll into the course in order to learn from the lessons. But, you cannot complete the assignments and final exam unless you meet the requirements to be certified.
What rank must you hold to become a CMAT?
You must hold a minimum of black belt or equivalent in the art that you are going to teach.
How long does it take to complete the course and exam?
This is a self-paced course, so the more time you dedicate to going through the modules, assignments, and exams, the faster you could complete the course. There will be time for receiving feedback, interacting, etc. Most candidates will complete the course in around 3 months.
Can you retake an exam if you don't pass?
Yes. There is no additional fee if you do not pass an assingment or exam. We uphold high standards, and it is very possible that you will be asked to make corrections, or re-submit certain assignments and tests as you complete the course.
Does becoming a CMAT make you an official instructor of the Global Martial Arts Association?
No. Your CMAT certification will be accredited and awarded by the GMAA, but you will be solely responsible for your own curriculum, classes, and school operation from there on out. You will be listed as a CMAT gradate in the assocation's website, but will not be an official location, as you might teach a completely different style or curriculum than our instructors do.
Are there any monthly or annual fees?
No, there are no other fees for the CMAT. After you complete the certification program, you will be a CMAT. We don't require that you pay any monthly or yearly fees.
