ABOUT

PROGRAM INTRODUCTION

The Smart Movement Classical Pilates Teacher Training Program is a comprehensive program that allows individuals to become fully certified Pilates instructors. The program consists of different levels of training and assessments, with each level signifying a certain level of proficiency in teaching the Pilates method.

Students can refer to themselves as "trained" once they complete the training part of the program. To advance further, they must undergo practical teaching assessments to become an "apprentice" for the basic or intermediate system. To achieve full certification, students must complete the advanced training and pass both practical and written exams.

The program includes 600 hours of training and ensures that instructors are knowledgeable in all aspects of the Pilates method. Individuals who have trained in other Pilates programs can bridge into the Smart Movement program, but they must undergo assessments for each seminar to obtain full certification. Overall, the program offers a structured pathway for individuals to become certified instructors with recognition for their skills and expertise in teaching Pilates.
