FICS ICSC Instructors

FICS ICSC

Instructor Pool

The international pool of ICSC instructors gives candidates a truly global perspective on sports chiropractic. Athletes from different regions often expect different approaches to care, and this diverse education helps prepare sports chiropractors to work effectively in a wide range of sporting environments worldwide.

ICSC Instructor Levels

Our global instructor network spans three levels of expertise, bringing together internationally recognised sports chiropractors with extensive experience working at elite sporting events worldwide.

Level 1

Through a modern hybrid learning model, FICS combines online theory education with hands-on practical seminars, delivering accessible, high-quality training to members across the globe. To uphold excellence in education, FICS maintains a structured instructor ranking system that recognises expertise, leadership, and excellence in ICSC teaching, ensuring members receive the highest standard of evidence-informed sports chiropractic education.

Instructors in training are taken through a range of self-directed learning to introduce them to the ICSC content, course objectives and training methods. Once they have completed their online training, they will participate in a one-on-one session with the Education Commission Chair before being appointed to a seminar, working under a Master instructor. Once an instructor has attended and assisted at both an upper and lower extremity seminar and has received positive marks (4 or higher) on the self, peer and participant evaluation form, the instructor will be eligible to move to an assistant instructor.

Level 2

Assistant Instructors will be given a range of modules to deliver during a seminar. Once an assistant instructor has met all the requirements of that level and has received positive marks (4 or higher) on the self, peer and participant evaluation form, they will be considered for a Master Instructor.

Level 3

Master Instructor is a Sports Chiropractor who has extensive lecturer experience, working at international games, sound communication, and expertise across all the ICSC subject matter and can train other instructors at hands-on seminars. The Master Instructor must do everything in his power to promote the highest standard of the educational material, lead by experience with the values of FICS and will often act as a mentor.

Building a Strong, Active Global Instructor Community

The FICS ICSC Instructor Pool brings together experienced sports chiropractors who share a commitment to clinical excellence, practical education and the continued development of sports chiropractic worldwide.

Our instructors bring regional knowledge, international sporting experience and a passion for supporting the next generation of sports chiropractors. Together, they help FICS deliver consistent, evidence-informed and highly practical ICSC education across a wide range of countries, cultures and sporting environments.

Maintaining an Active Instructor Pool

FICS reviews the Instructor Pool annually to ensure it remains active, appropriately supported and aligned with the future seminar programme.

Our goal is not simply to increase the number of instructors. We aim to maintain a carefully balanced pool across all regions, providing instructors with meaningful opportunities to teach, strengthen their skills, mentor others and progress through the Instructor Pathway towards Master Instructor status.

The annual review considers factors including current pool readiness and availability to teach; the current composition of the Instructor Pool; and the anticipated seminar and regional requirements for the next three years.

This approach helps protect the quality of the programme while ensuring that instructors have genuine opportunities to remain engaged and contribute.
