For Instructors

Affiliate Your School. Keep Your Independence.

GAMAO is built for instructors who want recognized standards without surrendering their school, their students, or their income. Here is exactly how affiliation works — in plain terms, with no hidden conditions.

What You Keep

You keep 100% of your local teaching income. Your students remain your students. Your school remains yours. GAMAO never takes a cut of the fees you charge your members for classes at your own location. Affiliation adds a credential and a standard — it does not insert GAMAO between you and the people you teach.

The Progressive Revenue-Share Model

GAMAO operates a 50% progressive revenue-share model on GAMAO-specific products that flow through the network — certifications, GAMAO-branded credentials, and centrally delivered programs. The split applies only to GAMAO revenue, not your local income, and it is progressive: structured so smaller and developing-economy instructors carry a lighter load. The principle is fairness — those who can contribute more, do.

Solidarity Pricing

Membership is tiered by economy. Tier is assigned by the instructor’s country of operation. The standard is identical across tiers — only the price changes.

Tier 1

$150/ year

USA, UK, EU, and comparable economies

Tier 2

$75/ year

Eastern Europe, Latin America, and comparable economies

Tier 3

$30/ year
