What Does It Mean To Be Ride Level 2 Certified?

What Is 'Ride Level 2 Certified'?

When you see this certification badge, it represents far more than attendance—it signifies multi-day hands-on training, expert-led instruction, and observance in advanced custom seating practices. The Ride Custom Certification Course is widely regarded as one of the most comprehensive and forward-thinking educational programs in the seating and mobility industry.

Ride Designs believes in redefining how custom seating is approached—merging prosthetic and orthotic science with practical clinical application.

Why Does Certification Matter?

It's All About Client Safety.

This certification is earned through an intensive two-day training at Ride’s Denver headquarters—a curated experience combining expert instruction, real-world application, and the latest in custom seating innovation.

Because improper use of ANY custom seating can pose serious risks, we want to provide the best education available on our products and strategy.

Valuable Knowledge + Experience = Exceptional Outcomes.

Participants are immersed in both theory and practice through dynamic lectures and guided hands-on workshops with real wheelchair users.

Graduates of this course walk away not just with enhanced knowledge—but with the confidence and tools to deliver better outcomes in seating scenarios.
