Wilton Method Instructor (WMI) Seminar

The pre-requisite for applying to be a WMI is the completion of the Wilton Course 1, 2 and 3. Here are the steps:

1. You just tick the box in the attendance sheet where they ask whether you are interested in becoming a WMI.
2. Fill up the Application Form and submit it. The next WMI Seminar will be in March 2009.
3. Next, just wait to be called for an interview.

The WMI Seminar is conducted over a period of 5 consecutive days. Basically, you will be going through whatever is being taught in Course 123, but at a slower pace with more details included. A manual is provided which emphasize preparations before classes, step by step instructions for each lesson, as well as tips and a whole lot more...

The below are pictures from the Regional Southeast Asia WMI Seminar which I attended in 2007. It was held at Royal Bintang Hotel next to The Curve in Damansara. The seminar fees was RM1,400. We still get all three Student Kits as well as lots of Wilton products not included in the kits. Among the really good goodies were the 20" Rolling Pin, A Trim N Turn Cake Stand, the 15" Angled Spatula and the Deluxe Tip Case.

This is probably in Day 1, our tables are still neat and clean. We were told to bring a bath towel each. The reason could be to keep the green felt clean and also so that we could work within our own boundaries.

One of our trainers in action. We had 2 trainers at each side of the table, going through the same motions as one of them do the instructing as well. After each task, we proceed back to our tables and attemp the task.

This is our assessment for Course 1.

Our assessment for Course 2.

The fondant dummy cake for Course 3. Notice how full our table is now? Full of goodies... :-)

We had a graduation and farewell dinner on the last day. The above is the Wilton Team of Trainers and Marketing Team from US, giving out the certs.

The new Malaysian WMIs(2007), all ready to go!
