Online Coaching Education Courses

We are pleased to offer virtual education opportunities that are either led by an instructor or fully self-paced.

Our online Level 1 and Level 2 Coach Certification courses are led virtually by a pair of expert USAW instructors. Courses operate on weekends and weekdays to accommodate a variety of schedules. After attending the course, completing all course requirements, and successfully completing the online examination, you will earn your USA Weightlifting Level 1 or Level 2 Coach Certification, the only coach certification recognized by the sport of Weightlifting in the United States.

In addition to covering all the content that is provided in an in-person course, these online classes will offer additional opportunities to practice error correction and apply programming skills. Virtual office hours will also be available to provide participants with additional Q&A and direct assistance from our expert USA Weightlifting instructors. A barbell, or dowel, if available, will be helpful, but is not required for the course.
