Welcome to Crochet Instructor Training!

I’m Salena Baca, founder of the American Crochet Association, crochet instructor, and author. I’ve been working professionally in the crochet industry since 2009, and after teaching thousands of people—both in person and online—I created this training program. Through these years of experience, I’ve learned what truly works (and what doesn’t) when it comes to teaching beginners, and I’ve packed everything I’ve learned into this program to help you teach successfully.

This training is written in clear, simple language, making it perfect for crochet enthusiasts eager to share their love of crochet. You’ll not only learn what to teach but also how to teach it, with print-on-demand patterns and resources to guide you through teaching the basics and beyond.

To get started, introduce yourself in the comments! Share a bit about your crochet journey and what you're most excited to learn in this training program. I’m here to support you every step of the way!

Peace + Love + Crochet
