Initial Training provided you with the foundations of teaching. Now transform your state of mind when you teach with the skills learnt in Advanced Training.

The Advanced Training course is a 2-day module that has a strong focus on self-development as it explores your fitness leadership, values and beliefs. There is an emphasis on bringing your natural talents to the forefront – allowing you to teach from a place that is completely authentic. You will feel more fulfilled as an Instructor and derive more enjoyment from teaching classes.

Advanced Training is currently a two-day online and live workshop.

Whether you have been teaching for six months or 25 years, Advanced Training is the key to breaking through to your next stage in instructor excellence. You will not only improve your teaching but also gain skills that will positively impact your life outside of fitness.

This course has been designed to help you find your strengths as an Instructor and discover a whole range of ideas to grow your teaching. You will learn how to fill your classes and have longevity in teaching as the kind of Instructor you want to be. You will learn how to become a Group Fitness leader, how to be grounded in the essence of your program, and how to enhance the workout experience for your participants.

Initial Training equipped you with the foundations to teach and Advanced Training is your next step in developing yourself further as an Instructor.

Advanced Training includes a Grade Review at the end of training. Take the learning from training and goals from your development form and apply to your teaching. Within 60 days submit an assessment video of you teaching a full class (this can be your favorite tracks from the last 4 releases). You’ll then receive your personal grades against each key element, a new development form with feedback and your corresponding level.

Yes, we encourage you to undertake Advanced Training in your different programs.

No, you don’t need to have a teaching opportunity lined up. However, teaming up with a local club it can make it easier to practice your teaching skills before certification. Les Mills Connect makes it easy to find teaching opportunities at gyms and fitness clubs near you.

You will remain an Elite Instructor in that program.

We’d encourage all Instructors to attend Advanced Training as soon as possible but within a year of certification. As soon as you feel that you have mastered the foundations of teaching, it’s time to take the next step in your development and book onto Advanced Training.

You can book through the Instructor Portal.

Both courses cover the same content over 2 days. There are some differences in track presentations.

• Prior to the end of Day 1, Instructors in the online training re-film their allocated track, implementing their Day 1 learnings. They use this track over the course of Day 2 to identify how they can integrate the concepts discussed into their teaching. Instructors in the live training present their allocated track at the beginning of Day 2, implementing their Day 1 learnings.
• Instructors in the Live training present their track for final trainer guidance on their development at the end of Day 2. Instructors in the online training film their track post-training.

Autoship is the name for our quarterly program releases. We call our training releases by Autoship because they are Automatic and Shipped your way - just register one time and you’re all set!

We are running a three-day Autoship schedule to ensure we can provide timely support for instructors who need assistance or have questions about their releases.

Autoship is a Quarterly Release and you will get it in the following months: March, June, September and December. You can access Autoship using your login in Les Mills Connect or on the go with the Les Mills Releases App by downloading from the App Store or Google Play.

Included in each Autoship release you can find a Masterclass Video, choreography notes, music for you to use in your classes, marketing materials to promote your classes and additional tips to improve teaching and class attendance.

If you are actively teaching our subbing you must have the latest release, as outlined in the instructor agreement. It’s important that instructors receive the newest release to ensure that they’re getting the latest education and research updates, as well as technique and coaching skills to provide the best possible experience for participants. If you’re not actively teaching, in order to keep your Les Mills certification active you’ll need to buy at least one Autoship release per year for a given program.

An instructor can pause their certification for up to one 6-month period per year from their date of pause. Once they hit that 6-month mark their subscription automatically resumes. If you need more than 6 months you can reach out to us and we can remove you from Autoship.

If you have an inactive certification, you will need to take additional steps to return to teaching. Requirements for reactivation vary based on how long your certification has been inactive. We are here to help, contact us.

Les Mills Qualifications is live with all programs except Born to Move™.

You will keep your current certification status. Advanced, AIM 1 Complete, AIM 2 Compete, and Elite Instructors will have the opportunity to have their personal grades against each of the 5 Key Elements assessed. Thank you to all our instructors who continue to work on their craft and attend the additional education that we offer.

The purpose of Les Mills Qualification is to help you understand your strengths and development areas to continue to improve as an Instructor. We are not actively recruiting for the TAP team at this time.

Your level and grade changes based on the development of your individual strengths. Each of the 5 Key Elements will be assessed to a certain grade and the combination of those grades is what creates a level - the overall outcome. Participate in Advanced Training and continue your personal education pathway to develop your strengths, so that when you send in your next video for assessment you will see the improvement in level to match your improvement in the Key Elements.

Levels are allocated via assessment and Instructors are welcome to submit assessments for review at any time.

No, you do not have to continue to submit assessment videos to maintain your level, but you will need to submit assessment to increase your level and grades as your strengths improve.An Instructor must stay active to retain their current level. The requirements to stay active vary from market to market; please contact your local office if you are unsure of these.

Yes, although most likely your strengths are similar, each program has its own assessment criteria for the 5 key elements - just like we do today for certification.

Choreography has 2 grades to reflect that we are all human and make the odd choreography mistake! The power of the workout comes from a combination of ALL the 5 Key Elements.

All of the 5 Key Elements are assessed ongoing, and as you move up the levels, you will be recognized for achieving a combination of grades 1, 2 and 3 against each Key Element. You will see there are two pathways within each level. This is to recognize that some of us may develop all 5 Key Elements at about the same pace and some of us may have a strength in one or two key elements while still developing the others. Levels 6 and 6.5 are so close in development, which is why they are displayed within the same level.

The LES MILLS GRIT assessment for the grades will be against the 3 skills rather than 5 Key Elements, but the grades to make up the levels will be consistent with other programs.

Les Mills SuperStar is a competition that shines a light on Instructors both at events and on social media. The main prize is a place on stage at a Les Mills Live event, which is also a mixed-gender environment.

During this competition, the judges are looking for future talent to join the IMEA Presenter Team. We will be using Les Mills Superstar to help with our ongoing recruitment.

خلال هذه المسابقة، سيقوم الحكام برصد المواهب الجديدة المحتملة للانضمام إلى فريق مقدّمي ليز ملز في IMEA.
