frequently asked questions
How long is the course?
The Dynamic Reformer Pilates Certification is a 3-day intensive training. Prior to the course, non-Pilates teachers are required to complete an online anatomy module as an entry requirement. After the training, participants have one month to complete their required practice hours at the studio and apply for their final practical exam. The exam is included in the course fee.
Does everyone successfully graduate?
This course is subject to completed course work and assessment of the tests and final exams. Course certificates cannot be bought.
How will I be assessed?
Your participation, team work, completion of all the assignments during the course and teaching practice – requirements to complete this course.
How much does this course cost?
You can find all the pricing information below the FAQs, under ‘Your Investment’.
What is an online platform?
An online platform is a dedicated space where you’ll find all the additional course-related resources and theory materials to study at your own pace. It supports your learning before, during and after the training. You’ll retain access to the platform even after the course ends, allowing you to revisit and review materials anytime.
Is this course recognised internationally?
Yes. After completing the certification, you’ll be fully qualified to teach Dynamic Reformer Pilates classes at beginner and intermediate level. While this certification is designed to prepare you to teach internationally, it’s important to note that individual studios or employers in different countries may have their own specific requirements or onboarding processes for teachers.
What if I’m too old? Overweight? Not strong? Not flexible? Have an injury?
That’s exactly why you should join. Everyone starts somewhere, and there’s no “perfect” body, age, or personality for becoming a teacher. What matters most is your willingness to learn and grow. This course is designed to be supportive, inclusive, and empowering – no matter where you’re starting from. We’ll guide you every step of the way, helping you build confidence, strength, and the skills to share this practice with others.
