Return Student
Students who have taken one of our 5-week Full Build or Outdoor Kitchen workshops can request to be a return student in another workshop the same as the one they have already taken. Return students only pay for food and come back to deepen their experience and knowledge, be secondary assistants and helpers, and become eligible for the Cob Workshop Assistant position.
Cob Workshop Assistant
Once you have taken a Cob workshop with CruzinCobGlobal, you are eligible to assist the teacher in the same level workshop you took. Students who have been Return Students and qualify, have priority. Usually students will request an Assistant position for a certain workshop and/or will be invited by Claudine. The Cob Workshop Assistant will receive room and board, transportation costs to a maximum of $500 and payment of $2500 for preparation of three teaching posters and 4 lectures plus training phone calls in the 3 months prior to arrival date, one week of pre-workshop preparation (5 hrs a day for 6 days), assisting Monday through Friday from 8:15 am to end of class, and prepping from Sunday 2pm to 6pm. This experience will allow you to review and deepen your knowledge by hearing the lectures again as well as leading 4 lectures, teaching and mentoring the students, getting personal feedback from the teacher and even making connections for work opportunities and more cob building experiences with students and others.
You may apply for a position in any upcoming workshop which you are qualified to assist in by emailing claudine@cruzincobglobal.org and requesting an application.
Cob Workshop Co-Instructor
Once a student has assisted in one or two of our workshops and built a whole cob structure from foundation to roof on his/her own or leading others, they are eligible to become Co-Instructors in our workshops. Usually Claudine will invite them after observing them in previous workshops or receiving feedback from their Instructors in which they are deemed ready.
Cob Workshop Instructor
After completing a 5-week full build or Outdoor Kitchen workshop as Co-Instructor and building and completing 2 or more full structures on your own or leading others, you will be ready to lead one of our 2 standard workshops supported hy an assistant. CCG will hire you to teach one of our international workshops. Your transportation up to $500 and room and board will be covered by the Host and CCG will mentor and support your preparation with documents and teaching materials as well as training phone calls. You will be paid half of the tuition income. You will need to arrive a week before the Workshop begins to review the Host’s preparation of the site for receiving students, and the required materials and tools, as well as complete the pre-workshop week tasks with your aassistant. Instructors who speak other languages fluently enough to teach in (after acquiring some key vocabulary words) are highly desired! We look forward to building our Global C.O.B. team to cover the Planet!
