 Current Certifications

How We're Different

  • Rigorous Standards:
    AMI certification requires comprehensive training, assessed teaching ability, and demonstrated competency, not just attendance at a weekend workshop.
  • Adult-Learning Focus:
    Our methodology is designed to teach real adults with real constraints.
  • Science-Backed Approach:
    AMI-certified teachers understand the essential anatomy and biomechanics of aerial movement, enabling them to teach with clarity, make intelligent modifications, and pass this knowledge on to their students.
  • Ongoing Development:
    Certification isn't a one-time transaction. AMI teachers maintain access to continuing education, resources, and the professional community.

As AMI Grows, We're Committed To:

  • Continuously evolving our standards based on industry best practices.

  • Building partnerships with safety experts, researchers, and educators.

  • Making certification accessible while maintaining rigor.

  • Supporting our certified teachers with ongoing resources and development.
