Duration of Courses
Courses offered are 1-3 days in duration and consist of seminars and practical work presented by a team of top fitness professionals from around the country. Although most courses begin with a solid theoretical grounding the emphasis Cycle Pro Academy places is on practical application and rehearsal of concepts. For this reason all training is supplemented with micro-teaching sessions (video playback and analysis) in order to ensure that practical mastery of the concepts has been well cemented. Course material is provided in a user-friendly format so that scientific jargon is well explained in accessible terms. All courses emphasise practical application and extensive interaction between coaches and students.
Examination/Assessment
In order to ensure that the extremely high standards of the academy are met and maintained all candidates undergo a theory and practical examination. External examiners and moderators are utilized to ensure quality and impartiality. Specific Outcomes and Assessment Criteria will be covered in detail with students on day two of the training. Students who do not meet the minimum requirement are taken through the areas where competence has not yet been achieved and afforded the opportunity of re-entering the examination at a later date at a cost of R250-00 per module.
Certification
Certification takes place 1 week after examinations where students are presented with a Cycle Pro Academy Qualification in their respective field. Cycle Pro Academy is the preferred service provider for Indoor Cycle (spinning) instructors in most clubs in South Africa, however, there are many CPA certified instructors also working in many countries outside South Africa such as London, Germany, Australia, Dubai, Tanzania, Mauritius, Lesotho, Swaziland, Botswana, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Mozambique as well as on numerous cruise ships.
Pre-requisites
No prior qualifications are necessary for admittance into courses, however, some level of experience on an indoor cycle is recommended. Also where candidates do not yet have a matric certificate they may be required to undergo an interview before gaining admittance. Good instructors are characterized by an openness to learn, passion for people, fitness and music as well as an outgoing confident personality. Whilst a fitness test does not form a part of the entrance criteria, students who have never done Indoor Cycling before would be well advised to attempt to attain the an appropriate fitness level for courses before enrolling. Attendance of a number of different classes presented by a variety of instructors will be helpful for prospective instructors to get an idea of various instructing styles before undergoing the training personally.
