The ISA certifications have been developed to establish a global standard and seal of quality. This international accreditation helps bring legitimacy to our growing activity, and symbolizes a high level of professionalism for those who wish to share their skills, knowledge, and passion of slacklining in a professional environment.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The ISA is pleased to offer the international slackline community\u00a0 our Instructor C (basic slacklining) and (Highline) Rigger Certifications. Our Instructor B program \u2013advanced coaching and rigging within different slackline disciplines\u2013 is currently under development.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>

Instructor Certifications<\/h3><\/h3><\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>

The INSTRUCTOR C certification<\/strong> provides individuals with the knowledge to teach workshops and courses designed to introduce people to the sport of slacklining. After successfully completing the certification, you will be able to organize and conduct your own slackline courses according to ISA standards.<\/span><\/p>\n

In this certification we will discuss several techniques for teaching slacklining to beginners, as well as how to prepare and manage courses. Participants will learn techniques to efficiently teach basic foundational slacklining skills, injury prevention, basic rigging and technical knowledge, and learn a thorough and successful methodology for teaching beginners. The focus lies on education, not rigging, however participants are expected to have a solid understanding of rigging beginner slacklines safely.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

\"ISA_Instructor<\/a><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>

This is not a cert for beginners. Participants must be able to comfortably walk a 15m slackline and be able to setup small slacklines with a ratchet and an ellington\/primitive system including a secure backup.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

The INSTRUCTOR B certification is in development and currently not offered.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is meant to go one step further in slackline methodology. Aimed at individuals who are teaching slacklining to slackliners intent on furthering their practice the certification focuses on improving technique, learning new skills, and dives deeper into equipment and rigging.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

\"ISA_Instructor<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The Instructor B certification will be for dedicated slackline teachers. Participants must be confident in a variety of slackline types and styles and be able to perform all the basic techniques effortlessly. A general understanding of physiology, pedagogy and physics is helpful. It is not required, but strongly encouraged to already have an Instructor C certificate. (in development – currently not offered)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Rigger Certifications<\/h3><\/h3><\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>

The ISA RIGGER certification<\/strong> is intended to help festival organisers, local clubs and individual highliners with permissions, insurance, liability and alleviate access issues in general. Certified Riggers are expected to be active members of the slackline community with a strong sense of responsibility and attention to detail. The certification is not a course, but an exam. It consists of three days of testing to guarantee that the participants are capable and reliable riggers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Participants need to demonstrate their knowledge and skills in a variety of different environments and setups. Not only do they need to be able to rig highlines, but also efficiently coordinate their efforts with others, rescue other highliners, adhere to protocols and checklists provided by festival organisers and be able to assess and mitigate risks associated with events, festivals and slackline shows.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
