Barre Certification by Barrecore

FAQ

The Barrecore Academy Barre certification course is a 5-week programme designed to combine flexible online learning with four dedicated in-depth training days (35 hours total) for lecture and hands-on practical training with our Co-Heads of Teacher Training in London. You can find the full schedule breakdown above.

Who is the course suitable for?

Anyone and everyone! Whether you are a self-employed fitness instructor, or just interested in learning more about the Barrecore Method - this course is for you. It covers basic anatomy, how to create a strong and well-balanced class, teaching tips to ensure you feel 100% confident in your own technique and the tools to deliver an effective workout for your clients.

How am I assessed?

There is a short assessment after each module (5 in total) and then a final assessment consisting of an online questionnaire (requiring an 85% pass rate), video submission of you teaching a Barre class and a class plan.

How long is the course?

Although we recommend you stick to the 5-week timeline we set out, the course runs at your own pace and you’ll have access to the course materials for 6 months from the start date.

Are there any face-to-face training days I need to attend?

Yes, each course includes 2 intensive training weekends hosted at our Moorgate Barrecore studio in London. We strongly recommend you attend in week 1 and 5 - dates to be confirmed.

What is the price?

The course is £1500 but you can save big and pay only £1100.40 when you email [email protected] to enroll by February 9th. Hurry - there is very limited space available! Enroll Now!

What is included in the price?

You get access to the course material as soon as payment goes through, and for 6 months from the course start date. Our Barre certification course is one of the only online courses that include face-to-face training dates as we strongly believe effective communication is key to being a successful teacher!

You will also get sent the Barrecore Certification accessory pack consisting of:

• Socks
• Resistance band
• Circular resistance band
• Barrecore ball

Do I need to buy anything for the course?

We aim to provide you with most the equipment you need, however we don’t include weights. You have options to teach with 1.5kg weights, so you will need to purchase these yourself.

What am I qualified to teach when I complete the course?

The course does not permit you to teach within Barrecore studios, nor does it allow you to teach Barrecore classes. This certification means you are qualified to teach general Barre fitness classes at any studios/fitness facilities/private clients etc.

You cannot teach:

• Within Zone 1-4 London
• Manchester area - all postcodes starting with 'M', 'SK' and 'WA'
• With 5 mile radius of any current or future Barrecore locations

If you are interested in teaching directly for Barrecore (within our own studios) there is a different path for this and you can get more info here.

Is there ongoing support during the course?

Of course! You will be able to contact course teachers Emily and Gemma for support throughout the week and on Saturdays.

How long does the certification last for?

Certification lasts for 12 months. Recertification costs £250 or £100 if purchased 1 month ahead of expiry. Recertification is required every year and will give you access to course top-ups and new material to keep your classes fresh!
