Get certified. Join the Creator Program. Sell your courses. License our workouts. Run IKU workshops and certifications. Everything a kettlebell professional needs — in one ecosystem.
A clear, structured progression. Every step builds on the last. No shortcuts.
Most certifications are all-or-nothing — pay the full price, do the full course, pass or fail. We designed the IKU level system differently. You can start small, see if the material is right for you, and then decide how far you want to go. Each level has a clear purpose and a real-world benefit. Not everyone needs every level — choose the path that fits your goals.
Enroll at a low entry cost and start learning. See if the material, the teaching style, and the depth are right for you — before spending more. No pressure to continue.
Complete the full course material without a physical assessment. Perfect if you want the knowledge for your own training — not everyone needs to become a certified instructor. The course itself earns NASM/ACE CEUs.
Take the physical assessment and demonstrate that you can actually perform and teach the exercises. This is where the 30% pass rate applies — you earn an IKU credential that means something. The course component earns NASM/ACE CEUs.
Develop advanced expertise in a specific discipline. At this level you can mentor L3 candidates and assist in workshops. For trainers who want to specialize and teach at a higher standard.
Demonstrate athletic competence in kettlebell sport or advanced programming. For those who don't just teach — they compete. Rankings through IKSFA.
The highest level. Run IKU certification events, assess candidates independently, and represent IKU in your region. This is a career — not just a credential.
Because not everyone has the same goal. Some people want to learn kettlebell technique for themselves. Others want to teach professionally. A few want to build a career running certifications in their country. A single pass/fail certification forces everyone into the same box. Our level system lets you start with a low-cost entry point, see if you like the material, and then choose how far you want to take it — without paying for more than you need. Every level stands on its own. You can stop at any point and still have something genuinely valuable.
