Online Level 1 Course

Overview

You will learn how to help others improve their fitness and health using the CrossFit methodology, and earn the credential necessary to work as a CrossFit coach.

There are two parts of the OL1:

  1. A self-paced online course (this course) that can be completed at home. The course begins with lecture-based and interactive instruction on the fundamental principles and movements of CrossFit and ends with a 50-question multiple-choice test.
  2. A live webinar, where participants can engage in a live Q&A with CrossFit's top coaches as well as receive coaching through foundational movements in a small group setting.

Upon completion of the course, participants are able to revalidate a current CF- L1 credential, obtain a first-time CF-OL1 credential (valid for three years, eligibility requirements apply), or attain CEUs toward the maintenance of CF-L3 or CF-L4 credentials.

This course can be completed in multiple sessions. However, it is recommended that you complete a full module before exiting the course, as work on partially completed modules will not be saved.

Participants have 1 year from the date of registration to complete the Online Level 1 requirements.
