Performance Cycling Instructor Course - Which level is right for you?

To accommodate the needs of indoor cycling instructors worldwide, Performance Cycling are pleased to offer 2 main levels of certification, both live and ON-DEMAND online.

Both include expert support and provide and assess knowledge on the underpinning theory, essential to be an indoor cycling instructor. Both have an unmatched 100% recommendation rate and consistent '5 Star - Excellent' ratings from instructors worldwide.

Performance Cycling Essentials Plus (PCL1) - Online, this is our most popular level with indoor cycling instructors worldwide

Performance Cycling Essentials Plus (PCL1) is ideal for those who want a thorough, knowledge based certification and who want to certify or recertify quickly.

This level is accepted by all major insurers alongside existing L2/L3 fitness quals and also used by many employers and clubs to bring Spin/indoor cycling enthusiasts onto their in house teaching teams.

Because this level is knowledge based, it can be done without access to bikes if needed - Very helpful in the current global covid crisis!

Essentials Plus (PCL1) covers everything you need to confidently plan, create and teach a safe, effective and exciting indoor cycling class, including how to choose and use music to maximise motivation and enhance teaching. It also includes additional, underpinning A & P not usually found on other indoor cycling courses, so you can be confident you understand the why, as well as the what and the how to teach.

We also cover what NOT to do, so you know how to protect your riders, bikes and yourself from injury and litigation!

Essentials Plus Instructor certification is gained on passing our thorough written assessment with individual personal feedback so you can be fully confident you really do know what you need to do to be safe and effective and shine as an indoor cycling instructor.

START TODAY, 100% ON-DEMAND ONLINE - NO LIVE ATTENDANCE REQUIRED - all study and assessments are done online. Full details are included in the course and Debbie is there to answer any questions throughout - priceless!

We can also provide Performance Cycling Essentials Plus (PCL1) LIVE at your venue. Contact to discuss.

Our Pro Instructor (PCL2) is achievable via our 2 day live and in house courses or 100% online.

ONLINE - Online our Pro (PCL2) is available on completion of our Essentials Plus (PCL1) online.
