Do I have to be an Instructor first before taking the Park Instructor 1 course?
Yes, you'll need to be a minimum Level 1 instructor.
How good do I have to be to pass the Park course?
The Park Instructor Level 1 course is aimed at giving you tools to take students into the park for the first time safely. You won't be hitting the big lines, but will be focusing on basic skills on the small features, and improving your teaching skills. Check out the Park Instructor video and Course Guide for more info.
