LES MILLS QUALIFICATIONS
What are Les Mills Qualifications?
Les Mills Qualifications are a brand-new assessment framework to help Instructors become the best version of themselves. They are designed to recognise and reflect an instructor's ability and commitment to continuous improvement and provide a personalised development plan based on their strengths. Ultimately, they will enable Instructors to pack classes and keep teaching for the long term.
How do Les Mills Qualifications get measured?
The qualifications are measured by an instructor's strengths in the 5 Key Elements. (Choreography, Technique, Coaching, Connection and Performance). Instructors will receive a grade for each of the 5 Key Elements, and a combination of these will give them an outcome - a level. For example, if an Instructor achieves Grade 1 in Choreography, Technique and Coaching, they will pass Initial Training and be a Level 1 Instructor. The focus is on the grades. As an Instructor moves towards higher grades in the 5 Key elements, their level will also reflect this.
Why have Les Mills Qualifications been created?
This new system has been designed to recognise an instructor's commitment to the craft. It will enable our Instructors to achieve their goals and help advocate for better pay, more work, and more classes at those coveted peak timeslots.
Why are you changing the old assessment system?
The original assessment system had a certain amount of ‘box-ticking’. Instructors attended Initial Training, either passed or didn’t, and, for most Instructors, that’s where the ‘official’ development ended, with only 20 percent of teachers progressing (in assessment) past the first three Key Elements.
Experienced Instructors know that Initial Training is only the beginning of your journey – the ‘training wheels’ if you will. Once you’re out in the real world, the actual development begins. Les Mills Qualifications will be accompanied by further growth.
Why grades and levels?
This system has been chosen to mirror the recognition shown to other pursuits, such as learning to play the violin, ballet or martial arts, where grades and belts are indicative of individual skill. In addition, Les Mills Qualifications recognise that group fitness instructing is an art, and the levels and grades represent the teacher’s progression towards teaching mastery. As leaders in the education and training of group fitness professionals, this is the next step in the Les Mills gold standard of development and recognition.
How will Les Mills Qualifications provide personalised development plans for Instructors?
Les Mills Qualifications recognise that everyone has different strengths. For example, having a high grade in Connection will enable Instructors to pack classes - even if they have a lower grade in Technique. In addition, tools are provided to help Instructors continue to elevate their strength of Connection while also developing skills in the other Key Elements. With Les Mills, Qualifications Instructors can select the development pathway that best suits them.
How do you know it works?
Trials were conducted with the Les Mills team in the Middle East to test the efficacy of Les Mills Qualifications. 46 Instructors were taken through Initial Training for BODYPUMP™, BODYBALANCE™ and LES MILLS CORE™, conducted over five trainings. 22 of the triallists were brand new to the Les Mills training system, while 24 were experienced Instructors already certified in one or more Les Mills programs.
All of the triallists said the Development Form helped them to understand the value of setting goals and knowing their strengths. In addition, everyone found the grades and progression helpful and informative, and they understood their next steps to get certified.
When can I get assessed?
Right now! Our current training offerings and our new offering - Grade Review - will have this system up and running effectively immediately.
I’m currently a Certified Instructor. What does this mean for me?
You will keep your current certification status.
How will this affect my certification (could I lose it)?
As a certified Instructor, you have met the requirements for certification, so you will not lose your certification. However, you can be assessed again if you’d like to ensure your strengths are clearly identified and have a personal education pathway specific to your needs.
I’m currently in the assessment process. How does this change my assessment?
Your level and grade change based on the development of your individual strengths. Each of the 5 Key Elements will be assessed to a particular grade, and combining those grades creates a level - the overall outcome. Participate in Advanced Training and continue your personal education pathway to develop your strengths so that when you send in your next video for assessment, you will see the improvement in level to match your progress in the Key Elements.
Levels are allocated via assessment, and Instructors will be graded and assessed when you submit for certification via this website - click here to start the process!
Do I have to submit assessment videos consistently to maintain my level?
No, you do not have to continue to submit assessment videos to maintain your level, but you will need to submit an assessment via Grade Review to increase your level and grades as your strengths improve.
An Instructor must stay active to retain their current level. The requirements to remain active vary from market to market; please don't hesitate to contact Milly.Farrell@lesmills.co.nz if you need clarification.
Can I have different levels for different programs?
Yes, although most likely your strengths are similar, each program has its own assessment criteria for the 5 key elements - just like we do today for certification.
Why is there no Grade 3 for Choreography?
Choreography has 2 grades to reflect that the training is pre-choreographed and the criteria for the skill set is covered fully in two grades. The power of the workout comes from a combination of ALL the 5 Key Elements.
Why is there a level 6 and 6.5?
All of the 5 Key Elements are assessed ongoing, and as you move up the levels, you will be recognised for achieving a combination of grades 1, 2 and 3 against each Key Element. You will see there are two pathways within each level. This is to recognise that some of us may develop all 5 Key Elements at the same pace, and some may have a strength in one or two key elements while still developing the others. Levels 6 and 6.5 are so close in development, so they are displayed within the same level.
LES MILLS GRIT has 3 skills rather than 5 key elements? How will it be graded?
The LES MILLS GRIT grade assessment will be broadened to include more feedback on Connection (which is a significant component of the Key Workout Skill - Coaching) as well as Performance, which is an integral part of every Les Mills Coach/Instructor skill set and will help bring the authentic and 'Ultimate You' more into the workout. In addition, this brings GRIT more in line with the assessment of other programs.
Can I go down a level? or is my current level the starting level for the following assessment?
No, you will not go down a level. However, one or more of your previous grades may reflect the criteria not met in the most recent Grade Review. The Development Form will provide suggestions to help improve the grade.
Where do I submit for a grade review?
Right here on the website - click here to start the process!
Do I have to submit it for a grade review? Is it compulsory?
A grade review is optional to maintain your certification. Instead, this is a tool instructors can take advantage of to understand where they are in their journey and to receive a personal development plan to continue to grow their skills as an instructor.
How often would you recommend I submit a new Grade Review?
There is no specific timeline to follow for Grade Review submissions. Take the time to review your feedback and apply the learnings. When you feel you have progressed and are ready for your next development plan, submit a grade review.
I am not happy with my grade or level, can I appeal?
If you need more clarity on the development required to improve your grade and level, please contact Milly.Farrell@lesmills.co.nz to review your development plan.
How can this support me in getting paid more for my classes?
We know that gym members value a highly trained instructor - And your ability and knowledge are the leading drivers in gym member satisfaction.
To encourage full and engaged classes, with Les Mills Qualifications, you now have an opportunity to raise the standards of your teaching through up-skilling yourself and investing in your development. As your class numbers grow, your club will become more aware of your teaching abilities and their value to its members.
What's the difference between an Assessment Form and Development Form?
With the launch of Les Mills Qualifications, how we assess instructors has changed. This new system is focused on your strengths and development opportunities rather than just ticking a box that you completed a skill. This new form still upholds the same quality standards for certification but is focused on your ongoing development plan.
