Teacher training and CPD

A practical course that shows PE staff how to run engaging indoor rowing lessons, even with fewer machines than pupils.

Half-day course (4 hours)

How and why should I bother with indoor rowing?

Our teacher training courses are designed to help teachers who are new to indoor rowing answer that very question. We've put a lot of work into giving you a head start and limiting the extra work you need to do to achieve your aims as quickly as possible.

You'll find out how to deliver engaging lessons with fewer machines than pupils, how to introduce new skills to your class, how to teach good basic technique and how to set up a race so it's projected onto the wall.

You'll have fun and leave the course inspired.

Everyone had a great time and said what a brilliant course it was, the best they have ever been to. I felt the same, thank you! We are all very excited by what we learned last night and can't wait to start this up with the kids and share with other staff.
