Benefits of a Certified Trainer

Become a Certified Trainer with Palette Japan Asia

Turn your passion for Tsumami Zaiku into a rewarding teaching practice. Our Certified Trainers' Programme is designed to take you from graduate to confident workshop instructor, with the flexibility to grow your own brand along the way.

Start teaching from graduation

Once you complete our Basic level training, you can begin teaching Basic workshops right away. There is no long wait before you start earning and building experience. As you progress through Intermediate and Advanced levels, you learn more advance techniques to create your own collections.

Build your own brand, backed by ours

As a Certified Trainer, you are encouraged to grow your personal following and teaching business, while representing the heritage and credibility of Palette Japan Asia. You will have access to our approved logos, photos and videos to support your marketing, with guidance from our team to ensure every piece of content puts your best foot forward.

Sell products, not just skills

Set up your own booth at markets, fairs and community events, and sell our patented DIY kits, authentic Chusen dyed fabric swatches, tweezers and other trainer approved items. This gives you an additional income stream beyond workshop fees.

A community rooted in Omotenashi

Every trainer in our programme is part of a story that spans 200 years of Japanese craft tradition, brought to life through sustainable, upcycled materials and the spirit of Omotenashi, heartfelt hospitality in every interaction. You will be supported by our team and fellow trainers as you develop both your craft skills and your business confidence.
