overview
The Certified CrossFit Level 4 Coach (CF-L4) performance evaluation is a one-day evaluation of a trainer’s ability to effectively coach CrossFit movements and run a successful class.
This evaluation is for experienced trainers who have been coaching CrossFit in a group setting for several years. The credential is earned by trainers who have significant coaching experience, a comprehensive educational background, and CrossFit’s prerequisite certification — the Certified CrossFit Level 3 Trainer credential.
As part of our ongoing evaluation process for our credentialing programs, we are initiating a temporary hold on posting any new Level 4 Evaluations as we work through planned administrative updates. Upon completion of these updates, we anticipate announcing changes in the second half of 2025.

INSIDE THE LEVEL 4 EVALUATION
Candidates will be evaluated across six domains: teaching, seeing, correcting, class management, presence and attitude, and application.
The successful candidate will demonstrate their ability to coach a group of athletes of varied and unknown skill levels.
Passing the evaluation means an individual has demonstrated advanced coaching abilities through a real-time performance assessment.
