FAQ's
You asked.
We answered
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.

It's time to practice your skills! We suggest spending as much time as possible shadow-teaching with other Instructors. This will help you when it comes to filming your assessment video for final certification.
More information on how to present a successful assessment video will be provided at your training.
