Education

Instructors

Pass on slacklining with confidence.

The three-day instructor training course is offered through SPORTUNION and is designed for people who want to lead slackline sessions safely and clearly in clubs, schools or other groups.

Austria’s standardised qualification consists of a general foundation module and a slacklining-specific module. Both modules are required for the instructor certificate.

Slacklining specialist module

Expertise for practice.

The course combines essential knowledge with extensive practical work. The focus is on safe rigging, risk prevention, teaching for different target groups and the structured planning of sessions, rather than on personal slackline skills.

01

Foundations & disciplines

History, slackline disciplines and the value of well-structured courses and workshops.

02

Safety & equipment

Suitable settings, equipment, rigging, risk prevention, psychological safety and legal foundations.

03

Teaching & target groups

Teaching movement and choosing suitable approaches for children, young people, adults, older people and inclusive groups.

04

Practice & session planning

Warm-ups, first steps, games, progression, session planning, equipment and logistics for leading your own sessions.

Assessment

After the course, participants prepare their own lesson plan for a session. This provides the basis for the final assessment, in which they teach a selected excerpt in a practical teaching demonstration lasting 10 to 15 minutes.
