We do not have any experinec requirements for you to take our trainings but for optimal success we recommend you be able to (a) do a pullover mount (on hoop) or (b )be able to invert with a clean straddle mount (on the pole).
Being able to do these two items with ease consistently will help ensure you will be able to physically endure the long training.
We do and have done trainings outside of the US. If you have an area specific in which you would like a training please let us know and reach out to us via our contact form or the chat bot on our website. They are always looking to host more trainings to grow and share our CirqFIT team around the world.
At this time our trainings are taught in English. We have worked with many students in the past that do not have English as a main language and still have seen success because our training is so hands-on. If there is a specific language to need please let us know at the time of booking so we can see if it’s possible to accommodate you.
Here at CirqFIT we are firm believers in the saying, “If you are not learning, you’re not living! “
We believe that our training is the steppingstones to becoming an amazing aerial instructor that both inspires your students and sets them up for success. Noting that this is not the end of your training, it’s only the beginning to working towards another level of training.
At the end of the training there are three grades that each student has the possibility of receiving:
1) PASS- this states that we believe you are ready to teach immediately. That your safety, teaching technique and movement knowledge is ready for the classroom.
2) PASS WITHHELD- this states that we want to see a little bit more of one specific thing before we give a year pass certificate. If you receive withheld you’ll be given specific homework to complete within a specific period of time to help ensure that we can get your certificate in a timely manner. It is our goal to see our students set up for success and reach their goals!
3) RETAKE - This is given when we think it’s best that you retake the training to gain the most let you can from the program end it will be the best option for you and your future students. Normally that is because there are safety factors that need repetition and skills that need re-Enforcement. If you are asked to do a retake note that you will not need to pay for the retake and you can sign up for any future training that fits in your schedule and has an opening.
Having your certification from a CirqFIT teacher training does not guarantee a position teaching at any studio.
However, most studios do you require you to have a certification of some kind in order to teach at their studio due to insurance requirements.
Once you have completed your circuit certification it is recommended that you apply and audition at the studio of your choice and let them know that you are proudly a CirqFIT Instructor.
