IAIM – INSTRUCTOR AGREEMENT
To uphold the integrity of the International Association of Infant Massage (IAIM) and to protect your status as an IAIM Certified Infant Massage Instructor, we ask that you read and sign this document.
When I have successfully completed my assignment, the International Association of Infant Massage (IAIM) will certify me as an IAIM Certified Infant Massage Instructor.
The IAIM certification allows me to teach families with their babies from birth to 12 months old, individually or in groups. In the special circumstances of additional needs, the IAIM program can be taught to parents and their children from newborn to 7 years old.
To respect the IAIM program I will teach Infant Massage course in five (5) sessions of 60 to 90 minutes, preferably once a week.
I have been trained and will be certified to be a parent educator and will only demonstrate and teach strokes on a doll and in person.
I will teach the IAIM program without mixing it with other activities or children's courses.
I understand that the IAIM program is not to be used as a therapy, and I will clarify this to the parents.
To promote infant massage, I may present the IAIM Infant Massage Program to public and professional groups, through lectures, media presentations and displays. Whilst doing so, I will always respect the IAIM intellectual property. I understand that I should not demonstrate the massage strokes in these circumstances.
I understand that the IAIM logo is a trademark that belongs to the IAIM. Therefore, I can only use it while I hold current membership of an IAIM Chapter.
The IAIM Instructor Manual is for the exclusive use of IAIM Certified Infant Massage Instructor and students. I may not copy, reproduce, give away or sell any part of the Instructor Manual. However, the designated Parent Baby Handouts may be reproduced specifically for use in IAIM parent-baby classes.
10. Only an IAIM International Trainer can teach the Infant Massage Instructor Certification Program. My certification allows me to teach parents exclusively.
11.In order to protect children’s rights and privacy IAIM recommends Instructors to have the parents written agreement for pictures taken during the classes. The pictures should be respectful of the children’s privacy.
12.A Handbook for Loving Parents by Vimala McClure is the only infant massage book that can be given, sold or promoted during IAIM infant massage classes. To honor the IAIM founder, Vimala McClure, I will make her book known to parents attending a course.
If I fail to follow any of the above requirements, I understand that I will not be allowed to teach the IAIM program or to use the IAIM intellectual property. I may also be required to stop my affiliation with the IAIM Chapter until any issue has been resolved. By signing below, I confirm that I have read, understood and accepted the items stipulated in this agreement.
