Born to Fly Certificate Holders
|
AboutAerial instructors who have completed the requirements for a Born to Fly™ Aerial Teacher Certificate are listed below by apparatus and level. Each teacher has completed a 30-hour live teacher training with a Born to Fly™ Approved Provider and a 20-hour practicum including observations, practice teaching, and a video assessment process.
Currently, there is no national certifying body in the aerial arts, and each teacher certificate program is in charge of its own standards and accountability. Our program seeks to fill a gap in the industry by offering quality training and extensive feedback. Until a national certifying body presents itself, we are active in publishing and presenting at conferences to contribute to the industry and stay engaged with the larger community of aerial arts educators. |
