WARNING: Beware of persons fraudulently presenting themselves as Inline Skating Instructors!

To become certified, instructors must take training in the most contemporary & safest teaching methods/ inline skating techniques. They must also pass exams for both their blading & teaching ability (through either the United Skate Schools Group-USSG, or the International Inline Skating Association-IISA) & must maintain their accreditation through training upgrades. Inline Skaters considering becoming future instructors are encouraged to take pre-course lesions from Senior Certified Instructors prior to taking their formal Instructor.

To find a list of the world’s currently certified instructors, look up www.unitedskateschools.org or www.iisa.org . For further instructor references talk to your local Inline Skate Shops!

CAUTION: **Although appropriate for advanced clinics, beginner In-Line Skaters should avoid large group lessons to maximize their safety & learning experience!**
