Yes: by REPs and CIMSPA. This course meets the criteria for official ACSM Approved Provider status◊.
The Pilates Instructor course is delivered part time. You’ll complete as home study the online course material and complete the 30 hours of practicum (where you observe a qualified Pilates instructor in a commercial facility) and the portfolio consisting of worksheets and session planning.
You’ll book onto and attend a Stage 1 Pilates training weekend and a Stage 2 Pilates training weekend, in that order. You can attend either in person at our London premises, or from the comfort of your own home via our virtual training platform.
You’ll then either submit a video of your practical assessment with your completed portfolio and practicum evidence, or book and attend a scheduled Pilates assessment day to perform your practical assessment and hand in your completed portfolio and practicum evidence. If you book and attend a scheduled assessment day, you need to bring three participants with you for the practical assessment. If you submit a video for your practical assessment, you will need a group of not less than six participants.
Learner Support – As well as the support you receive from your tutor on a Pilates training weekend, you’ll also have access to our Learner Support team, dedicated to assisting you with study questions and queries. The team is generally available via phone, email or through the Help Desk Monday to Friday 9:30am to 5:30pm, excluding bank holidays and office closures.
Feedback Service – During your course you’ll be assessed in various ways, including via portfolio, and theory and practical assessments. You’re able to send us a video of what you intend to do for your practical assessment and or what you intend to submit as your portfolio beforehand and one of our qualified assessors will provide you with feedback. You need to do this at least two weeks prior to the due date of the assessment or the submission date of the portfolio. Additional fees apply.
You’ll need a basic level of English and Maths to understand the content.
You don’t need a prior fitness qualification to enrol on the Pilates course; however, if you already hold a Level 2 Certificate in Fitness Instructing qualification you might be eligible for exemptions from certain parts of this course so that you can start at the Level 3 section. Please call us for more information.
This Pilates Instructor training course requires physical exertion and individual participation is essential, therefore a degree of physical fitness is necessary. Relevant personal experience of participating in Pilates classes is helpful.
*Our app is compatible with iOS 8.1 and above and Android 5.0 and above. Devices, operating systems/versions and manufacturers are subject to change.
With our app* you can complete your online course material, manage your bookings onto assessment days, and view your electronic certificates, all while on the move.
If you want to teach Pilates, you will need a qualification from a recognised and reputable course provider. You may need your Level 2 Fitness Qualification too, unless this is included in the Pilates course.
If you don’t have your Level 2, you could complete our Level 2 Gym Instructor course and then begin your Pilates studies.
First, you should have an interest and some experience in Pilates. From there you should find a recognised course provider offering REPs accredited Pilates courses. Once you have found the right course, enrol and begin your studies.
This can depend on the course you have selected. If it’s distance learning, you will work through the course material in your own time and attend assessment days. If the course is part time or full time, you will attend the scheduled classes for the specified length of time which can be a matter of weeks or months.
Our course is a blend of online learning, training weekends and assessment days. Work through the online material using our bespoke app and then book into training days with our trainers.
It is recommended that you have attended Pilates classes before embarking on a course. You don’t have to be an expert, but you should have a basic understanding of Pilates. Your studies will benefit if you have a passion for the subject.
A Pilates Instructor can charge up to £30 per person for group classes. For a one to one class, a Pilates instructor can expect to charge from £50 per hour. In a health club, pre-set rates tend to be between £20-£25 per hour. Much of what you could earn will depend on location and the type of venue you are delivering classes in.
As a Pilates instructor you have some flexibility. You can work in a boutique studio, from a client’s home, from a home studio, in a gym or health club or in a local hall.
Pilates includes two main styles of exercises, Mat and Reformer. While reformer Pilates may yield results more quickly, Mat Pilates is still an incredibly effective method. Over the long term both styles will yield similar results.
