Red_and_Black: I would love to hear more from you regarding our instructor list—I invite you to email me at admin@strongfirst.com. Thank you!The instructor list is very poorly maintained. I raised this and apparently it's down to the individual instructors to update their details, and many don't seem to bother, which seems weird to me.

Thank you, Red_and_Black. Yes, that is the case—the instructor listing is a benefit of earning the certified instructor credential, however we cannot dictate the instructor complete their profile...though it is highly encouraged.@Amanda @ HQ I was looking for an instructor near me in the UK and I went through the UK listings and it was noticeable that loads didn't have any contact details, or even any info. I did get an excellent one near me in the end, but the list was generally not very useful. I flagged it up with someone and they sadid it was up to the individual instructors to maintain their details.
Loads of them look like this....

@Amanda @ HQ has HQ considered requesting a minimal / bare-bones, instructor Bio in advance as part of the event registration process?
@Anna C maybe that should be something that could be communicated in advance also? If they have no intention of using the directory, then opting out from the start would eliminate many blank profiles. Probably would save time for HQ also not having to create the profiles that those folks didn't want to begin with.People who do the certification events for reasons 2, 3, 4, and 5 on this Instructor Certifications page may not want to advertise their availability as an instructor.

Yes, good idea. Although I would be (being one myself) there are many who want to be listed even if they are not taking students currently, if for nothing else than to be a local resource for people in the area, or credentials being listed to accompany online content creation, articles, etc. The "Accepting new students" checkbox is sort of the "opt out", which I have used (unchecked). Then there are probably some that aren't trying to make a living at it but are interested in taking on a student from time to time, which I have also done. So, hard to say what would be the best solution there.@Anna C maybe that should be something that could be communicated in advance also?
