Should I do an in-person course or an online course? What's the difference?

You should do whichever option fits your needs the best! Both versions of the course cover the same curriculum. If you prefer to immerse yourself in a one week intensive, train many hours a day, and potentially complete your certification as quickly as possible then the in-person course is perfect for you! If you have a busy schedule, prefer to learn at your own pace, or want to train at your home studio or with your own equipment then the online course is a great option!

​​

Do I need an aerial rig?​

If you're attending an in-person course you won't need to provide anything – our host studios will have you covered. If you're taking the online course you will need a safe aerial setup to practice, either your own or at a studio you have regular access to. We recommend a minimum of 12 feet (3.5 meters) of height clearance for the Level One course and a minimum of 18 feet (5.5 meters) for Level Two. We will ask to see photos of your setup when applying to verify that the setup meets our safety criteria.

​

My splits aren't very good. Is that a dealbreaker?

We look for clean technique and fluidity of movement – students will not be judged by their flexibility. Having full splits is great, but if you aren't there yet, not to worry! You can still be a great instructor without full splits :).

​​

Is the course available in multiple languages?

In-person courses are taught in English and Spanish (at specific locations only, please consult the course listings above). Printed teacher training manuals are available in English and Spanish. Currently, the virtual course is available in English only.

I've already taken a Level One course from a different provider. Can I skip Aerial Physique's Level One and go straight to Level Two?

Each Aerial Physique Teacher Training course is designed to build upon the previous level and expands on the teaching methodology. Because each program covers unique concepts, techniques, and progressions, completion of our Level One course is required before moving on to Level Two, even if you've trained elsewhere. This ensures a consistent foundation for all participants and sets you up for success as you progress through the training program.​

​

Does my certification expire?

Your Aerial Physique Teacher Training Certification is good for 2 years from the date of issue. Certifications can be renewed every 2 years by submitting a video showcasing what you've been working on, a review or testimonial from a current student or studio owner, and a $100 USD renewal fee. ​If you complete the next level of Teacher Training within the 2-year window, your certification will automatically renew and no additional fee applies. ​This process supports your continued growth as a teacher while maintaining strong, up-to-date standards.

​

I want to take the course for myself, but I don't intend to teach. Is this ok?

Yes, absolutely! Many students find that the curriculum helps them improve their own aerial practice by focusing on strong fundamentals, even if they don't go on to teach.
