I completely agree with you Lily
There are different definitions of qualified, and indeed there are different types of "aerial moves".
At Ceroc, our aim is first of all, not to teach dangerous moves. The only moves we learnt in the Advanced courses that we are allowed to teach are coded Orange and should always be taught with an alternative, we spend time discussing the safety implications / warnings etc... Our focus is on fun and safety, as discussed in an another thread.
Ceroc teachers are qualified to offer you safety advice, and indeed some Ceroc teachers
are specialists in Dips / Drops and teach regular workshops across the UK. Indeed Gus, is offering a Dips / Drops workshop next week
It is very difficult to know in advance the qualifications of who is taking the class, and unfortunately, most people will rely on word of mouth, or worse, just go, because they like the sound of the workshop, regardless of who is teaching it!
If by aerial moves you mean ones where the lady is literally flying, then I would not want to see any of those moves anywhere near any of my classes anyway (well trained or not!)
