Introduction
Thank you for your interest in our Pole Passion Fitness Instructor Opportunities. Pole fitness is now one of the fastest growing fitness classes in the UK and this ‘first-stage’ introductory document outlines our REP’s accredited qualification in Pole Fitness that is suitable for existing ETM fitness professionals as well as an exciting opportunity for exceptional individuals to learn to become Pole Fitness Instructors either on their own or in both cases having the opportunity to operate as fully licensed self employed Passion Fitness Instructors with ongoing training and full support.
REP’s Accredited Pole Fitness Instructor Training Programmes
Our level 1 & 2 instructor training courses are accredited with REP’s for 16 CPD points each (32 CPD total). The courses maps to D414, D415, D416, D412, D417 and C35 of the National Occupational Standards.
These fitness qualifications are written with the ETM knowledge to support the course and are designed primarily for fitness professionals who have an ETM qualification to level 2 or similar and are looking for a new and exciting class to teach and gain valuable CPD (continual professional development) points to remain on the Register of Exercise Professionals. However, this is not a must for everyone who wishes to attend the course, just a recommendation, but we highly recommend all students to register for the ETM as part of their continual improvement programme.
Pole Fitness Instructor Training - Level 1 is a teaching qualification for all participants who have no, or limited prior experience on a Pole and limited teaching experience. It is also a comprehensive foundation course for more experienced pole dancers seeking a recognised teaching certificate.
Pole Fitness Instructor Training - Level 2 offers a continual development on the course structure from level 1 with progressive new moves, transitions, routines and floor work. Both courses together offer over 200 techniques contained within the comprehensive manuals and is aimed at those participants who have completed level 1 Pole Passion Fitness Instructor course.
From Level 2 Pole Passion offers regular advanced training and master classes designed to support you and your continual professional development to master trainer standard including additional training in Burlesque and other dance / fitness styles for additional class structures and opportunities.
Pole Fitness Instructor course aims:
The course allows instructors (male and female) to learn a new form of exercise, boosting their self confidence in a fun, professional and supportive environment and to develop the skills and knowledge necessary to plan, teach and evaluate safe and effective pole movements, techniques and exercise on and around the pole by providing them with an understanding of:
• The importance of health & safety and customer service
• The benefits of pole exercise, movements on and around the pole and activity for all
