What Makes SAFE Certification Different?
These are the principles that set SAFE Certification apart from other instructor programs worldwide.

- ✅ Prevention comes first — before fists or countless knees to the groin.
- ✅ Flexible curriculum for every age, ability, and limitation.
- ✅ Teaches with empathy, awareness, and adaptability.
- ✅ Direct, effective skills — not a rolodex of techniques that crumble under stress.
- ✅ …and much more inside the certification.

“The SAFE curriculum is so simple, realistic, and easy to apply! I was nervous to start teaching solo, but after getting certified, I felt completely ready. The training gave me the tools I needed to teach with confidence — and my students absolutely love it.”
Malissa Misch
“SAFE made it possible to reach students of all ages. I work primarily with older adults — and this is the only program I’ve found that truly empowers them without overwhelming them. The conflict resolution module alone is a game changer.”
