Certification for the Latin dance-inspired fitness program Zumba is initiated at the program's official website and concludes with the successful completion of a Zumba training workshop.
Prerequisites
Beyond the need for instructors to be physically able to perform the exercise routines, few prerequisites exist to become a Zumba teacher. Zumba generally requires prospective instructors to be 18 or older, although according to their website, they sometimes make exceptions.
Locating a Workshop
The first step to Zumba teacher certification is to locate a nearby workshop for either Zumba Basic Steps Level 1 or Zumba Gold by navigating to the Instructor Training tab on the Zumba.com website. These two courses are the only entry-level Zumba certifications.
The Workshop
Successful completion of the day-long workshop culminates with a certificate of completion that allows the instructor to teach Zumba for one year. In addition to hands-on instruction, the workshop provides attendees with instruction manuals, DVDs and exercise soundtrack CDs.
Cost
The entry-level certification courses cost $225-$285 each, the lower fee offered for early registration. This fee pays for the workshop, materials and a one-year certification.
Other Certifications
Zumba also offers the training workshops Toning, Aqua and Zumbatomic, which are only available to current Zumba instructors who are paying members of the Zumba Instructors Network. Registration for the Basic 2 workshop does not require Zumba Instructors Network membership.
