I was given an awesome opportunity to execute a training for my barre instructor certification through Barre Vida via Jo Stone. This online certification is a 40 hours training that is collapsed down into three sections with four lessons in the first section and two-three lessons in section two and three. There are sections you are required to teach and video tape it, and then upload in the discussion posting area.
You take someone else’s posted lesson, ask questions and contribute feedback. I like not having to worry about finding music to suit the proper beats per minute. There is a monthly playlist provided and you can change arrange songs from other months, if you not crazy about the song suggested. You also receive a weekly progress report email and if you fall too far behind you get a call or email from Jo Stone.
Not sure when Jo sleeps between her live trainings, teaching classes, blogs, etc., because she returns emails/calls in record time! She will do video chats as well. Although this is an online training you receive a lot of personal attention from Jo as if you were in a live training. I like that she gives simple options for those like myself who are not technologically savvy to download our training videos, live class and questions.
My plans with this certification are to start off with a pop up classes and eventually have the opportunity to teach at a fitness center.
