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.
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.
