You may register at any time and you will be given the login information to start usually within 24 hours of registering. You can then self start. Our certifications are one-to-one in most cases (so private classes) and this allows you to complete your certification quickly. Self study is 3-5 hours then 3 sessions of teaching practice with your Examiner (60-90 minutes each). After learning to teach 6 skills you are ready for testing: 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 YOUR needs. It takes between 2 to 4 weeks depending on your schedule–you set the pace.
