Director’s Note: If you have thoroughly studied either of Oscar’s two books and seven DVD you should pass the exam easily (provided you understand Modern Tennis Methodology). Be aware that conventional and modern tennis teaching do not mix. We have different exams which we will send out in random order and should you need to retake the exam, you will not receive the same exam. The exams will demonstrate you understand the true fundamentals of Modern Tennis Methodology. Corrections will be sent to each coach to explain and clear up any misunderstandings. On the failed answers, we will provide the correct answers or tell you where to find the correct answers and you will have to attest via email that you have read and/or understand the source of the answers.
Second: You pay $50 and take the exam which will be emailed to you within 3 business days of receiving payment. This $50 is the yearly fee and is not prorated.
Third: Once you have passed the exam, a signed certificate by Oscar Wegner will be e mailed to you at the e mail address provided, so you can print it, or, upon request, mailed to you. You will be granted the right to list the level achieved on your business card.
