Participation certificate
Upon finishing each course level, students will receive a participation certificate after they clear the examination conducted by the school. This certificate acknowledges their dedication and successful completion of the training. While the certificate is an important milestone, it signifies only the beginning of your journey in Aerial yoga. Continuous practice and learning are essential.
To maintain high-quality teaching standards, they have a structured certification process. However, this certificate does not allow you to teach yet.
After completing the TTC, students must practice for three months before they become eligible for full certification. Once this period is complete, they must take an online examination, where they provide a video for them to follow and demonstrate their proficiency. The exam will cover theoretical knowledge, practical skills, and safety measures relevant to the level completed.
If they pass the assessment, they receive a teaching certification, which they can then register with Yoga Alliance. If they do not pass, they will need to continue practicing and reattempt the exam. Alternatively, they may choose to retake the TTC in person at their school.
This process ensures quality control and maintains high teaching standards, so their certified teachers are well-prepared to lead Aerial yoga classes confidently. The online exam is also included in the package.
