About Us
The ISA Education Commission is a dedicated group of volunteers who are committed to spreading the wealth of knowledge found within the practice of slacklining. Originally founded in Bern, Switzerland in August 2017 as a working group, and officially established as a commission one year later. The EC has worked tirelessly to develop an international standard of educational methods that have been developed into internationally accredited courses. We offer instructor and rigger training courses and certifications at slackline events and festivals worldwide and presently have several hundred instructors certified around the globe.
