There is some pre-course reading which is done on our online platform, you’ll also need to watch the course videos and complete the online theory assessment.

All our courses come with a Spin City Certificate and are endorsed by:

ACTIVE IQ

AFAA – Aerobics and Fitness Association of America

NASM – National Academy of Sports Medicine

PDC – Pole Dance Community (Pole Fitness and Anatomy & Physiology Courses only).

Our courses are recognised by insurers worldwide and your certificate will assist you to obtain public liability and professional indemnity insurance that will cover you for teaching. 

The Spin City courses have been written for adults who are apparently healthy in the general population. With your certificate you can expect your insurers to cover you to teach adults over the age of 18.

Insurance companies will require you to hold an additional certification to teach any group that is termed as a 'special population', which includes children and young people (under the age of 18), older adults (over the age of 55), pre- and post-natal women and those with disabilities.  

Theory: the theory test can be retaken online as many times as you like until you pass.

Practical:  in the event of a ‘referral’ in any of the practical units, you will receive detailed feedback and an action plan that will give clear instructions of what we will need to see for you to achieve a full pass. You may be able to retake the unit over the weekend. If not you will be handed over to our online assessor and mentor who will provide you with support over email/phone and who will guide you through the reassessment process. 

You will have up to 6 months to complete your practical re-assessment by video submission.
