Aerial Teacher TRAINING
Details / COURSE OBJECTIVES
Details
How is the Beginner Teacher Training structured?
Beginner training is about the basics. It includes didactic training in addition to lots of physical aerial training. Each trainee will focus on honing their teaching skills on the apparatus that they have chosen to focus on for certification. The Aerial Circus Training and Safety manual is recommended as a reference guide. It can be purchased here.
On the last day, those who have submitted their practice/teaching/supervision hours for verification will have the opportunity to make plans to be assessed by Carrie for Certification on your chosen apparatus. Passing your certification is determined by Carrie; she will evaluate your abilities and the recommendations by your instructors. Certifications will be e-mailed to those who pass their assessments and have verified all practice/supervision hours. If you do not pass certification, you will be given the opportunity to retake the assessment in the future for an additional fee.
How is the Intermediate Teacher Training structured?
Intermediate training is about reviewing the basics and learning the next level of aerial skills, safety, classroom management, injury prevention, as well as a more in depth look at skill progressions, rigging and more. It includes didactic training in addition to lots of physical aerial training. Each trainee will focus on honing their teaching skills on the apparatus that they have chosen to focus on for certification.
