certified instructor

Qualified official trainer

A certified instructor is someone who has completed official training and earned credentials to teach a particular skill or subject.

The certification typically comes from a governing body or professional organization: a certified yoga instructor, a certified scuba instructor.

The term signals that the person meets established standards, distinguishing them from self-taught practitioners who simply call themselves instructors.
