  Certification Process
The First Tee of Northeast Arkansas offers programs and instruction which focuses on developing life skills using the game of golf as its vehicle. Participants learn about themselves and others through a range of experiences that enhance their golf fundamentals as well as their foundational values for life.

The First Tee Life Skills curriculum is divided into three levels of certification, starting with Par (for beginners) and progressing through Birdie and Eagle.

The Par level focuses on the fundamental communication and self-management skills. The Birdie level deals primarily with goal setting. The Eagle level gives participants advanced instruction and practice on mastering Par and Birdie level skills, as well as additional topics, such as conflict management, mentoring, and career planning.
