Credentials
Understanding Kickboxing Credentials: ISSA, AFAA, and ExpertRating
Kickboxing courses differ in purpose, curriculum, prerequisites, assessment, and intended use. Before enrolling, compare each program with the requirements of the gym, employer, insurer, or professional organization you plan to work with.
ISSA Kickboxing Instructor Course
ISSA offers an online Kickboxing Instructor course focused on kickboxing technique, combinations, drills, proper form, and class design. It is intended primarily for fitness professionals who want to incorporate kickboxing-based instruction into client or group-training programs.
AFAA Kickboxing Skills and Drills
AFAA offers an online continuing-education course called Kickboxing: Skills and Drills. The course covers boxing, kickboxing, martial arts movements, and aerobic teaching skills and currently awards 0.7 AFAA continuing-education units.
ExpertRating Kickboxing Training Certification
The ExpertRating Kickboxing Training Certification is a self-paced online program covering kickboxing principles, fitness conditioning, punches, kicks, partner drills, defensive techniques, and sparring strategy. The program includes online courseware and a certification exam and is designed to help learners build foundational kickboxing knowledge for personal development, fitness, or further professional training.
Important credential information: ExpertRating is not affiliated with, approved by, or accredited by ISSA, AFAA, or NASM. The ExpertRating certification is a separate credential and does not replace any qualification specifically required by an employer, gym, insurer, licensing authority, or professional association. Acceptance of this course for continuing-education credit should be confirmed directly with the organization awarding that credit.
Career
Career Prospects with Kickboxing Certification
The ExpertRating Kickboxing Training Certification can help you build foundational knowledge of kickboxing principles, fitness conditioning, punches, kicks, partner drills, and sparring strategy. It may support your professional development when exploring opportunities in martial arts and fitness instruction, but it does not guarantee employment or replace qualifications required by a particular employer, gym, insurer, or professional organization.
Depending on your practical experience and any additional credentials required, relevant opportunities may include:
- Assisting with or leading fitness kickboxing classes
- Working in a gym, fitness center, recreation facility, or sports academy
- Adding foundational kickboxing knowledge to an existing personal-training or group-fitness practice
- Offering introductory kickboxing-based fitness sessions where permitted by the employer and applicable regulations
- Pursuing further education in martial arts instruction, group fitness, personal training, coaching, or self-defense
Experienced instructors may eventually establish an independent training business. For broader career context, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported median annual earnings of $47,160 for fitness trainers and instructors in May 2025. Employment in this occupational category is projected to grow 7% from 2025 to 2035, although actual earnings vary considerably by location, experience, qualifications, employment status, and hours worked.
Kickboxing experience may also complement longer-term interests in competitive sport, stunt performance, law enforcement, security, or military service. These are separate career paths with their own selection standards, training, licensing, and experience requirements; completing this certification alone does not qualify a learner for them.
