DISTANCE LEARNING PROGRAMS
Become A Paul Vunak Certified Instructor
Paul Vunak’s Distance Learning Programs are designed to clearly separate education from instructor authorization, while providing a structured, progressive path through the Paul's system.
Students may begin with online education, advancing through defined levels that combine structured distance learning with in-person retreat training and evaluation.
Those seeking instructor candidacy progress through the Apprentice Instructor Program and, when qualified, the Phase 1 Instructor Program — each requiring successful completion of online curriculum, retreat attendance, and approval through in-person evaluation.
Instructor status and public listings are earned, not automatic, and are granted only after meeting technical, training, and evaluation standards under Paul Vunak.
