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?
The right route depends on the fitness knowledge you already have and how you want to train. If you already hold suitable Level 2 or Level 3 fitness training, the one-day route may be right for you. If you don’t, choose online training or the two-day face-to-face route.
Not sure which route applies to you? Ask ICI and we’ll point you in the right direction.
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.

Three routes. One instructor standard.
All three routes lead to the same ICI Foundation Instructor certification. The difference is how you train and, for the face-to-face routes, the fitness knowledge you already hold.

Book early and save
Limited SPRINT places on every scheduled course date
Each scheduled one-day and two-day course has a limited number of places available at the SPRINT price. Once those places have been booked, the remaining places are sold at the standard public price.
When the SPRINT places are gone, they’re gone. If you already know which date you want, booking early gives you the best chance of securing the lower price.
What stays the same
Different routes. Same outcome.
Whichever route you choose, you are working towards the same ICI Foundation Instructor certification and are assessed against the same instructor standard.
