Oreet or Master Instructor can require the instructor to attend a one-on-one informational session if an instructor is incorrectly demonstrating the SharQui format. If Oreet or Master Instructor determines the initial deficiencies continue after attending the one-on-one informational session, the instructors’ SharQui accreditation may be suspended.
