NOA origami instructor

To become an NOA certified Origami Instructor you should complete our specific work programme.  The Origami Instructors handbook is published in four languages.  It features instructions to make 60 Japanese traditional models and it is a guide book to create models and to learn the standards of Japanese origami.

Application

To complete the certification you must fold all of the models in the book and submit them to us for assessment along with an application form (included with the book).

If you cannot complete all of the models, please send us the models that you were able to complete and the partly completed other models.  We can then offer some guidance on how to complete the programme.
