FAQ
Answers
Who can apply for Recognition of Prior Learning?
Qualified Pilates instructors holding an official qualification in the same discipline with completed final examinations, and eligible health professionals such as physiotherapists, chiropractors, osteopaths, exercise physiologists and doctors. Attendance certificates alone are not enough.
What does RPL change?
Qualified instructors on an approved pathway have apprentice hours, entry-level assessments and the Final Theory Examination waived and receive an Advanced Certificate of Completion. Health professionals without a Pilates qualification complete all requirements. Discounts of up to 40% for Hybrid or 25% for Fully Online may apply.
Does a Mat qualification give me Reformer RPL?
No. RPL is discipline-specific. Mat does not automatically provide Reformer recognition or the reverse.
