This 12-24 month qualification entitles you to take the PMA Third Party Certification exam.

 

Course overview

Our Time Flexible Programme provides those not living in the vicinity of our studio, or those working full time the opportunity to complete a Comprehensive Teacher

Training Programme that has the unique flexibility of fitting in around your schedule and location!

 

The “Time Flexible” explained :

  • Your training is on a private/semi-private basis, so your hours can be chosen to suit you (subject to studio and teacher availability)

  • Should you choose to, you are able to book your training hours in ‘blocks of time’ rather than having to make a daily / weekly commitment. 

  • You are offered the option to “freeze” your studies once – putting your course on hold for an agreed period of time should your personal circumstances call for it (subject to terms and conditions)

  • You are given the option of conducting lessons, observation and self practice at any one of our three studios in England (Sarratt, Bath, Norwich)

  • The training can take anything from 14 – 24 months to complete, depending on the time you are able to dedicate to it. 

 

Your training includes :

The standard* course includes the following :

q       90 hours of private /semi private training

q       75 hours Pilates Method Lecture Series  - 5 weekends over 13 months

q       12 hours one-to-one review/mentoring meetings

q       Minimum of 300 hours of observation, self-practice and assisting teaching.

q       Unlimited use of the Studio facilities (during Studio opening hours)

Total Programme: a minimum of 500 hours

 

* Trainees that have completed previous CPM Qualifications are eligible for reduced hours – these will be provided separately to those that qualify. 

 

Please note : All students MUST be available to attend all Lecture Series Weekends.  Lecture Series scheduling details can be found at

End of Training Assessments

Practical, teaching and/or written exams will be given at the end of your training to determine your qualification.  All assessments will take place at the CPM studio in Sarratt.
