CIRCUS ARTS Trainings
Aerial Teacher Training
We are proud to be the first Teacher Training Program in America to be recognized for our excellent standards by The American Circus Educators Circus Arts Safety Network.
Circus Arts Institute's Aerial Teacher Training is an in-depth safety and technical training for anyone who is currently training in, teaching or wants to teach (or co-teach) Aerial Arts to others. With this training, you'll be a more mindful, safety-conscious and effective teacher (or student) of the Aerial Arts.
Three levels of certifications are available through the Circus Arts Institute: Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced.
With a certification, students will know that you are highly-qualified to teach and have the highest professional standards and education.

Policies
- Deposit required to enroll, with the balance due (no later than) 30 days prior to the first day of training.
- In order to maintain a fair and cost-effective structure for all trainees and to provide the best experience possible, Circus Arts Institute has initiated the following policy. If less than six (6) trainees register for any one apparatus, those trainees will be given the option to take the training as a private training, receive full credit toward future training at Circus Arts Institute, or receive a full refund.
- In the event of a cancellation by the Circus Arts Institute, rescheduling will be attempted and if rescheduling is not possible, full refunds of all deposits and pre-payments will be dispersed.
- If the participant informs the Circus Arts Institute of a change in plans to not attend the course 30 days or more before the first day of training, we will gladly refund* payments made.
- If the notice is given less than 30 days prior to the first day of training, the deposit will be held and further refund* status will be determined on a case-by-case basis.
- After the training packets have been printed and mailed (approximately 3 weeks prior to the start date of training), there are no refunds.
- *All refunds incur a $35 Administrative Fee. If your rig was visited virtually by our Safety Compliance Coordinator, an additional $50 Rig Visit Fee will also apply.
