ONLINE CERTIFICATIONS

You may register at any time and you will be given the login information to start usually within 24 hours of registering. It requires about two-thirds self-study, 3 to 4 sessions of teaching practice with your instructor (60-90 minutes each) and you will film your skills and teaching test and send it to your examiner. The written test is offered online. Our ONLINE platform offers you fully filmed videos of each teaching skill taught to both an inline and a quad skater. There is a written test completed online. Most candidates are enjoying 1 to 1 learning with the Examiner and it is therefore well tailored to you. It takes between 2 to 4 weeks depending on your schedule–you set the pace. Register here for the ONLINE Certification.
