Event FAQs

What qualifications/certifications do I need to attend this course?

You will need to have completed the Spin City Beginners Pole Fitness Course or an equivalent endorsed certification. We also recommend a minimum of 2 years' pole fitness experience. 

What’s included in the course price?

The course price includes access to our online platform for 1 year, lifetime access to our course video library, a digital course manual, access to a pre and post course mentor by email/phone and a full weekend's tuition with one of our qualified tutor assessors.


Upon successful completion of the course, you will receive a certificate.


In the event of a reassessment there is no charge. 

How can I purchase a hard copy course manual?

Once enrolled on the course you will be provided with a link where you can purchase a professionally printed manual. 

What do I need to do before the in-person course?

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.


If you can’t complete the online theory before the weekend you can still attend however, you won’t be able to claim your certificate until the theory has been completed. 

What is covered in the course?

This course will develop on from the basic skills taught at the beginners’ level while adding on the next block of moves in the Spin City syllabus. At this point in your instructor training, we start increasing your knowledge of core concepts such as training lifting, execution and clean movement. We will then expand your instructional toolbox, giving you a range of teaching methods that work effectively when students are at height and inverted. We will discuss class planning in the context of progress chains and how you can use combinations and sequences to both challenge your students, avoid them hitting move plateaus, and ensure safe progression.
