Great questions.
The HKC is a certification that is only recognized by DD and it is our understanding that it needs to be re-certified every two years, just like an RKC Certification.
The SFG Kettlebell Course is very similar to the HKC in that it is a one day course and upon successful completion, the student will be issued a Certificate of Course Completion.
We currently have no recognition program for the HKC and as there is no longer a tuition discount for HKC attendees who choose to proceed to attending an RKC, StrongFirst does not plan to offer an "HKC discount".
We do offer a simplified, two tier tuition program for attendance at SFG Level I and II Kettlebell Instructor Certifications, and will maintain the current price of $1195 for the first SFG Level I Certifications in TX, MA and UT until all spaces are filled.
The work you put in to your HKC is certainly something to be proud of, and a great base from which to grow. On behalf of everyone here at StrongFirst, we hope you'll grow with us.
