Yes, if you complete Mat or Reformer Levels 1, 2, & 3 as well as the Anatomy course you will be a certified Pilates Teacher.  Once you have completed the Mat Levels 1-3 plus anatomy you would be qualified to sit the NPCP Mat Pilates Certification exam. 

Upon completion of Level 1 or 2, you receive a certificate of completion of that Level of the course. 

We have designed all of the courses, Level 1 through 3 of Mat and Reformer to be completed in a designated amount of time. Our experience tells us that in order to become the best teacher possible you have to immerse yourself in the course and work on it a little every day. All courses can be completed with no more than 1 hour of apprenticeship per day.

Here is a table of required hours per Course and the number of weeks allowed to complete it. 

No! We want studio owners to have well trained teachers who keep their clients safe and engaged and drive business growth. As studio owners ourselves, we want you to earn revenue through the process of having apprentices, and not have them use your time and then leave to work somewhere else. 

If you have 3 or more apprentices interested in Teacher Training at your studio you can set them up with discounted tuition on our programs.  We provide you, the studio owner, a free course to help guide the apprentices through weekly apprentice meetings, create fee structures that generate revenue, and have contracts to keep you and your business safe. If you have 6 or more apprentices, you, as the studio owner, get one free course for yourself or the studio manager to complete. You could even use the free course as a scholarship option for someone deserving in your studio.

Our courses start as low as $499USD for the mat Level 1, up to $3600 USD for the paid in full Complete Mat and Reformer Certification. You can see our other pricing here.

Access to your student portal expires when your course is over. You can subscribe for a small annual fee to maintain access. 

No, there are no explicitly prerequisites, however Pilates experience is very helpful. We encourage you to seek out qualified Pilates teachers near you and take some lessons or classes.
