Task videos (walkthrough playlist)
A 32-video walkthrough of the CI exam tasks, matched task by task — including the older task numbering it uses.
Chapter 3: FFI Casting Instructor Certification Tasks
This playlist — “Chapter 3: FFI Casting Instructor Certification Tasks” — walks through the CI performance exam task by task, with an instructor demonstrating and explaining each one. It is the most direct video companion to the 22 task pages on this site.
Open the playlist on YouTube — 32 videos.
Read the numbering carefully
The playlist predates the current evaluation form and uses its own task numbers for the teaching tasks. Where a number differs, the task page says so and the table below shows the mapping. The Casting Demonstration videos (Tasks 1–15) match the current numbering, with one shift: the playlist still treats the second reach mend as its own Task 5, so everything after it sits one number lower — its Task 6 is the current Task 7, and its Task 7 covers the current Tasks 5 and 6.

Every task page also embeds its own video at the bottom, so you can watch and read together.
Videos that are not task-specific
These cover the exam and teaching in general, and are worth watching before you start on the tasks:
- Exam suggestions: Part 1 · Part 2 · Part 3
- Introduction to the teaching tasks: Part 1 · Part 2
- Teaching methodology and tactics: Part 1 · Part 2
- Correction tactics: watch — also embedded on Task 19
- How to teach the double haul: watch — also on Task 14
- How to teach the roll cast: watch — also on Task 18
- Using Hudl Technique for video analysis: watch — useful for checking your own loop width and tip path against the standards.
Two gaps worth knowing
- Task 22 (casting in wind) has no video in this playlist — use the task page and FFI’s own material for it.
- Task 21’s timing half is covered by the playlist’s Task 20 video, which is filed under its own older number.
The videos are hosted on YouTube by their author, not by this site. Embedded with youtube-nocookie.com so nothing is set until you press play.
