Which Learning Style Fits You Best?
There's no "right" way to complete your teacher training—only the way that works best for YOU.
Many trainees enjoy the flexibility of Guided Self-Study because they can fit the coursework around work, family, and teaching schedules. If you're self-motivated and enjoy learning independently, this is an excellent option.
Others find that the Live Instructor-Led Training actually saves them time. Instead of trying to work through questions on their own, they receive immediate answers, personalized coaching, and practical discussions that help everything click faster. Many leave feeling more confident and better prepared to teach their first classes.
That's why I offer both options.
Whether you value flexibility, individualized coaching, or a combination of the two, you can choose the learning experience that best supports your success.

What Other Trainees Have to Say
"The live online pole training with Angela was a very enriching learning experience. I enjoyed practicing at home on my own pole (in Italy!) while at the same time I was in a real-life lesson with Angela (in Maryland, USA!) She demonstrated and explained with utmost clarity and precision, every move and spin we were working on. I would receive immediate feedback and was able to proceed very quickly and improve my skills in no time! Thank you Angela for the high-value virtual lessons you offer! 😍" ~Bettina

"I originally signed up as self-study, but after losing a lot of time to other things in life, I did not feel as prepared to continue as I was from the beginning. Signing up for the live training was going to allow me to make a commitment to these sessions (as I am always putting others before myself). Before signing up for the live training, I will say that it was a bit harder for me to stay on task with my self-study--I had other commitments going on, so staying focused was an issue. However, once I switched to the live training option, and having the hands-on experience with Angela (even if it was virtual) gave me a better sense of accomplishment in learning the materials. These sessions gave me the ability to retain the information better and have more confidence going into the final stretch of the certification process. I felt so much more confident in myself doing this with her than if I had kept going on my own. Everything about the live training with Angela was excellent!"
