Frequently Asked Questions
See if any of your questions are answered here. If not, send an email to info@barreamped.com or fill out the form at the bottom of the page.
I don’t have a fitness or dance background. Can I still participate in your program?
YES! BarreAmped® training is open to anyone from barre enthusiasts to fitness pros.
Will Level 1 alone equip me to teach a barre class?
Yes, it will! Level 1 includes instruction on 40+ foundational barre exercises and stretches, including set-up, alignment, troubleshooting, correcting, and more. The course also offers our classic class framework and class planning resources.
Do your online courses offer certification?
No, you will need to add Trainer Support + Certification if you’d like to test out and earn your certification for any course that offers it.
What is included in Trainer Support + Certification?
Choosing to add Trainer Support + Certification means you will submit a pre-recorded video of yourself teaching a class based on the course you completed. You will then meet with a BarreAmped® Trainer via Zoom (or in-person, if desired) for personalized feedback, Q&A, and to perform your practical test. Successful completion earns you the title ‘Barre Certified by BarreAmped®,’ which is valid for one year past your test-out date.
How do I maintain my active Certification status with BarreAmped®?
Maintain your active certification status with BarreAmped® by remaining a member in good standing of the BarreAmped® Network (i.e. submit yearly or monthly payment(s) without interruption). We encourage you to login regularly and consider future training levels or formats to stay current.
Do I have to be a Certified Barre Instructor by BarreAmped® to become a member of the BarreAmped® Network?
Not anymore! We have opened up membership to anyone who has completed online BarreAmped® courses for which there are corresponding resources available inside the Network. Here you’ll glean new insights through teaching tip videos and sample barre classes, as well as receive updates or additions to the courses.
My certification has lapsed or expired. Can I reactivate?
Yes! We’d love to have you join us again. Simply reactivate your Network subscription and you’re good to go. Updated certificates can be provided upon request.
I trained as a barre instructor elsewhere. Can I jump straight into Level 2 or a Specialty Format course?
While we don’t necessarily recommend it (since no two barre programs are alike and our trainings build upon each other), it IS possible! You’re welcome to purchase any of our courses in any order. However, if you are interested in testing out and earning your certification through BarreAmped®, that needs to be done in order (Level 1, then Level 2, then Specialty Formats, etc).
Can I get CEUs from a BarreAmped® course or training?
Any and all pertinent information can be provided upon request for any BarreAmped® training course if you’d like to petition for CEUs with major providers.
