Inline Skating Instructors (on the Net)

Levels of Certification

There are currently three levels of certification given by the IISA. For more details on the IISA Instructors Certification Program (ICP), look at http://www.iisa.org/icp/.

Level 1 Certification:
is for the entry-level instructor who wants to teach the fundamentals of in-line skating based on a standardized format of teaching. Instructors are qualified to teach such things as moving, stopping and turning.

Level 2 Certification:
is for the experienced Level 1 Instructor who wishes to enhance class-handling skills, problem solving and intermediate-level skill development. Level 2 Instructors teach skills such as backward movement, alternative stopping, cross-overs and street-skating awareness.

Level 3 Certification:
includes certifications in high skill areas such as in-line hockey, racing, skate-to-ski, freestyle dance, street vert and ramp.
