Экзамен на звание "Certified Casting Insrucor" или CI IFFF состоит из двух частей:
1. Письменного экзамена (поставить галочки напротив правильных ответов)
2. Практический тест по кастингу.
Ниже, на-английском, приведена информация о практических кастинговых тестах, которые нужно сдавать. На русский сейчас переводим.
CI Performance Test - This version of test in effect ON JAN 1, 2012 Notes
The candidate must demonstrate the high standard of performance expected of a Certified
Casting Instructor, which would create confidence in students and other instructors. The
candidate must attempt all tasks. In order to pass a candidate must pass all of the explain
and demonstrate tasks (18-24) and fail no more than two of the first 17 tasks.
Candidates should accomplish most tasks quickly and easily on the first attempt,
accompanied by good demonstrations and, when requested, clear, concise
explanations. Demonstrations must match explanations. Candidates may be requested to
explain and demonstrate how they would teach any of the casts included in this
performance test. Examiners have the right to ask candidates to expand or give greater
detail on any task in order to confirm knowledge or skills.
Loops are expected to have reasonably parallel legs and be approximately 3 to 4 feet in
width unless otherwise requested within a task. Tailing loops are not acceptable at any
time except when requested within a task.
It is recommended that the roll casting tasks take place on water. Candidates are expected
to perform all roll casts with a technique suitable for casting on water, regardless of the
actual testing surface. When testing is not on water, examiners will make allowances for
such things as a leader not straightening or not reaching the required distance. If water is
unavailable a tool may be used to simulate water tension.
All tasks must be performed with the same rod and line. In the event of equipment failure,
replacement equipment must meet the test requirements. When there is a wind, the casting
direction will be at the discretion of the candidate. Lengths of line to be cast when specified
are measured from the caster to the fly. Marking the fly line to indicate specific distances
required in the accuracy tasks is prohibited. Hitting a target while executing a task is
required only when specifically requested in the task.
Fly Casting Instructor Performance Test:
Evaluation Form
Equipment: 9ft (2.74 m) rod maximum
Line: 7wt maximum
Leader: 7 ½ ft. (2.3 m) minimum with yarn fly
In all cases the candidate must demonstrate the good, relaxed form that would be expected
in an FFF Certified Instructor, and which would instill confidence in students. The tasks
should be accomplished quickly and easily. This is not a matter of requiring several
attempts to accomplish a task. Indicate successful completion with a check mark.
Recommended scoring: P = Pass / B = Borderline / F = Fail
· B (borderline) can be scored when a task performance is uncertain as a P (pass) or F
(fail). · Two B scores is the equivalent to one F (1B=1/2 F).
· To highlight a level of P (pass) performance for debriefing purpose, P+ or P- can be
noted.

line is beyond the tip again and begin again with the fly in hand. If the candidate misses the

previous target. A candidate is allowed three attempts per target. Allowances should be
made for adverse conditions.
