​Online Hula Hoop Teacher Training (Adults And Children)
Our new and updated teacher training is now available in an online format. This training course is suitable for dance teachers, fitness instructors, primary school teachers and for those wishing to teach hula hooping to adults and/or children.
​
This course is CPD accredited and carries 20 CPD credits
​What will you need?​
​Before you begin you will need a hula hoop (dance/fitness hoop) and access to a computer. Teacher hoop packs are available to purchase via our online shop (U.K and Europe).
For the U.S and rest of the world please get in contact with us direct and we can connect you with our recommended suppliers. You will have access to the online training for 6 months from the date of purchase and must complete the training within a 6 month period. In order to qualify as an instructor and receive your teaching qualification you will be asked to submit a video assessment (we recommend 'We Transfer' as a platform to send us your assessment).​
​
Once qualified you will be sent a certificate of completion and be invited into our Facebook teachers group where you will be able to network with other instructors and gain class support from other Globe Fit teachers. (This training can be completed from anywhere in the world. You will be required to submit a video assessment in order to qualify)
​
Please note that once qualified you will need to obtain public liability insurance in order to be able to teach. There are many insurers to choose from but before taking out insurance you will need to ensure that your chosen supplier covers hula hooping. If you are planning to teach children you will also need to obtain a DBS certificate (U.K). If you are unable to obtain a DBS then Globe Fit can apply for a certificate on your behalf. Please email us to discuss the process and cost involved.​
