Instructor training
Which indoor cycling instructor course do I need?
There are three ways to complete ICI instructor training: online, a one-day practical course, or a two-day practical course. The right route depends on how you want to learn and the qualifications you already hold.
Not sure about an existing qualification? Ask ICI before you book.

Which sounds most like you?
You don't need to choose the longest course simply because you're new to indoor cycling. Your existing fitness qualifications and preferred way of learning determine the route.
I'm already fitness qualified
Look at the one-day route
If you hold a suitable Level 2 or Level 3 fitness qualification, you may be able to take the shorter face-to-face route.
See one-day training →I'm not fitness qualified
Look at the two-day route
If you don't already hold a suitable fitness qualification and want to train face to face, the two-day route is designed for you.

Whichever route you choose
The route is different. The standard still matters.
All three routes are designed to develop the knowledge and practical ability needed for indoor cycling instruction.
Indoor cycling knowledge Understand the principles behind safe and effective indoor cycling instruction.
Session design Learn to build a class around a clear aim and make purposeful coaching choices.
Assessment Certification depends on successfully completing the required assessments, not simply attending.
ICI certification Successful learners complete the ICI Foundation Instructor qualification.
Existing qualifications
Already qualified in fitness?
If you've already covered appropriate underpinning fitness knowledge, we don't want you paying for and repeating training unnecessarily.
That's why the one-day route exists. It lets suitably qualified fitness professionals concentrate on the indoor cycling-specific learning and practical work.
If you don't have a suitable qualification, the two-day face-to-face course gives you the fuller route.
I have a Level 2 or Level 3 fitness qualification The one-day route may be appropriate. Check eligibility if you're unsure about the particular qualification you hold.
I don't have a fitness qualification Choose the two-day route if you want face-to-face training.
I want to train remotely Look at the online course rather than choosing between the one-day and two-day practical dates.
My qualification is unusual or I'm not sure Ask ICI before booking. We can help you identify the appropriate route.
Still not sure?
Ask ICI
Tell us what qualifications you already have and how you'd prefer to train. The ICI eligibility checker can help point you towards the appropriate course rather than leaving you to guess.
