How the course works
The course is split into two sections. The module is fitness and exercise knowledge. This section is for instructors with no formal training in fitness and exercise. The module give the candidate in depth health and fitness knowledge to enhance the pole instructors skills. Giving the instructor safe and effective understanding of warm up and cool down techniques as well as essential information on how the body functions. Those who have certified in fitness do not need to complete this section. Please be advised this section of the course is only endorsed by Vertical Dance and is not a stand alone certification.

The second module is the Vertical Dance instructor training. This giving the candidate an in depth foundation in becoming a pole fitness instructor. No other course covers such wide ranging topics associated with pole fitness, such as shoulder strengthening and injury prevention and pregnancy and pole fitness. The beginner course is the foundation to the intermediate and advance course and must be completed before moving on to the more advanced levels.

Each section has a workbook and online test to complete and a practical DVD assessment.

Is the whole course on line or will some one come to assess me?
The whole course is online. Nothing will be posted to you. You download all of the information and watch the DVDs, so you can start right away. You send your assessment into KT Coates by DVD for her to assess so there is no need to pay for some one to come and assess you.
