S6a :150 hour Pilates Reformer Professional Instructor Qualification for Pilates Mat instructors

This modular qualification is designed for Pilates Matwork Certified instructors or Physiotherapists with Pilates Mat CPD who are wanting to gain a Pilates Reformer Qualification or CPD Reformer education.  You can click on the lozenges to the right showing the modules for more detail on each module and the dates and locations of these modules currently scheduled.

As the instructor progresses through the modules towards the goal of becoming a  Pilates reformer specialist they will be able to gain Professional insurance to teach the Repertoire that is under their belt and therefore earn while they learn the remainder of the material.

It is assumed that all attendees on this course understand the Philosophy and basic principles of Pilates from their Pilates Matwork experience.   It is also assumed that they can meet and greet a client and perform an assessment of their needs prior to designing a suitable Pilates Programme.    As the final assessment will involve anatomical knowledge, history taking and static as well as dynamic posture analysis of an exam body before teaching them appropriately - those uncertain about these areas are recommended to brush up on their Anatomy & Physiology and consider attending either or both of the following modules:

5.6 Studio Teaching, Observation,Performance, Reflection and Portfolio

In order to recognise a full qualification as opposed to CPD - Insurance companies require a course that is run by an accredited Professional Training Academy which delivers a course with a minimum of 75 face to face hours, that includes an endorsed Health and Safety component where large Apparatus is involved and has either a series of case studies produced by the student or a Case portfolio of post course work with the subject matter and then a final written examination and practical examination.  

The modules above complete all the requirements other than the final assessments which are arranged on a one-on-one basis together with the company.

Some students choose to take a mock examination or private tuition with Instructor trainers in the build-up to their exams - others feel comfortable to work in their own neighbourhood and use friends and colleagues to prepare for the exams.

For this reason, the course fees include all of the modules above but do not include any follow up Private tuition or assessmebnt fees.   A student choosing to take their full assessments in one go rather than as they go along would pay a £180.00 fee for the practical and £70.00 for the written exam (these include all marking, paperwork, post exam feedback and certification).
