The Instructor Portal is a continuing education program designed for pole & aerial instructors. It’s ideal for experienced instructors who want guidance on industry best practices—from spotting to documentation—without pursuing another certification.

No, this is not a certification program. Instead, it offers practical knowledge on what to expect after certification, including contracts, cueing, safety, curriculum design, and running showcases.

The portal is split into clear modules that include:

• Documentation: contracts, non-solicit/non-compete agreements, insurance, compensation and tax norms in the U.S.

• Spotting & Cueing: safe warm-ups, body-based spots, supportive cuing techniques, level progressions

• Curriculum & Showcases: step‑by‑step lesson planning, teaching multiple classes weekly, and running student showcases

Pole and aerial are largely unregulated, so instructors often don’t receive formal training on contracts, insurance, or non-competes. This section equips you to ask legal questions, set fair compensation, and protect yourself.

You’ll gain key tools for:

• Supporting diverse student bodies safely through appropriate spotting

• Designing lesson sequences that build skill and safety

• Running showcases with organization and confidence

Yes! Enrollment gives you access to a private Facebook group where you can connect with fellow instructors, ask questions, and support each other’s growth.

Developed by Jolene Theresa and the sXp team, The Instructor Portal reflects over 15 years of expertise in pole, aerial, education technology, fitness and theater. It’s built to help you evolve professionally and creatively.
