FAQ

Full FAQ Here

How long does it take to become certified?
You’ll have 12 weeks after your final face-to-face day to complete theory, practice hours, and assessments. Most students need 6–9 hours per week if starting from that point, but enrolling early allows you to spread the load, complete theory in advance, and make practical days smoother.

What is the course structure?
Our program combines self-paced online theory (16 modules) with hands-on practical training (in person or via Zoom). You’ll also complete apprentice hours and submit final assessments to graduate fully prepared.

What is covered in the online modules?
You’ll study anatomy, biomechanics, cueing, injury modifications, prenatal/postnatal, programming, and professional practice everything you need to feel confident in the studio.

Why hybrid learning?
We blend online and in-person (or Zoom) training so you get the best of both worlds flexible, digestible theory plus live, hands-on teaching with direct feedback.

What makes this training different?
Unlike many providers, we’re physiotherapist-led and internationally recognised. We focus on the “why,” not just the “what,” preparing you for all clients — from athletes to rehab.

Is online training really as effective as in-person?
Yes. Zoom students receive the same level of coaching, interaction, and feedback as those who attend face-to-face.

What are apprentice teaching hours?
These are structured hours of self-practice, observation, and practice teaching designed to build your confidence and real teaching experience before graduating.

What assessments are required?
You’ll submit written plans and practical teaching videos. Assessments are marked by studio owners and educators, with detailed feedback and up to three attempts included.

Can I teach overseas after graduating?
Yes our qualifications are globally recognised. Many graduates go on to teach while travelling or relocating abroad.

What happens if I fail an assessment?
You’ll receive clear feedback and can resubmit up to three times at no cost. If more support is needed, you can book a 1:1 intensive session with an educator.

Do I get course access after I graduate?
Yes you’ll have access to all online content from enrolment through to 12 weeks post last practical day.

How much personal feedback will I get?
Plenty. Our max ratio is 1:10 in practical training, plus direct feedback during assessments and ongoing access to educators via email and portal messaging.

What tech do I need for Zoom practicals?
A stable internet connection, webcam, and a setup that clearly shows you and your apparatus. If your internet drops, you can rejoin immediately.

What is the refund policy?
All enrolments are final and non-refundable due to limited spots. Transfers may be possible only before course access begins, in genuine emergencies.

Are there any hidden fees?
No hidden costs. Optional extras include printed manuals, intensive coaching, or makeup sessions if you miss a practical day.

Can I switch between online and in-person?
Yes if there’s space in your preferred intake, you can change formats mid-course.

Your Next Step

Spaces are limited for each intake to keep trainer-to-student ratios low.

Advanced Pilates Upskilling Pathway

Physio-Led Professional Development for Already-Qualified Instructors

Already qualified as a Pilates instructor but seeking deeper anatomy knowledge, stronger clinical reasoning, and greater confidence working with injuries or special populations?

Body Form Education offers an Advanced Upskilling Pathway designed specifically for already-qualified Pilates instructors who want to elevate their teaching through Physiotherapy-led, evidence-based professional development.

This pathway allows you to upskill without paying full price to repeat a full certification while still accessing the complete Body Form Method, our full theory curriculum, and face-to-face education.

Who This Advanced Upskilling Pathway Is For

This option is ideal for instructors who already hold a recognised qualification in the relevant discipline (e.g. Mat**, Reformer**, Studio Equipment, Barre) and feel their original training:

Did not adequately cover anatomy or biomechanics
Lacked real-world injury modification strategies
Did not sufficiently address pre- or postnatal clients
Focused heavily on classical repertoire without functional or fitness-based application

If you have ever felt underprepared, over-cautious, or unsure how to adapt in real classes this pathway is for you.

What This Pilates Upskilling Pathway Includes

Participants in the Advanced Upskilling Pathway receive a comprehensive professional development experience, without needing to pay full price.

This Physio Led course includes:

Full access to Body Form Education’s online theory curriculum
Attendance at the face-to-face training days (where applicable)**
In-depth, physiotherapist-led education covering:
- Functional anatomy and biomechanics
- Injury modification and clinical reasoning
- Pre- and postnatal considerations
- Classical repertoire plus functional, fitness-based application
- Real-world teaching strategies for group, semi-private, and clinical settings

This is not observation-only education it is active learning, designed to immediately improve how you teach.

Certification Awarded

Participants who complete this pathway will receive:

Advanced Certificate of Completion – in the chosen discipline e.g. Mat** / Reformer** / Studio Equipment / Barre]
Issued by Body Form Education

This certificate formally recognises your advanced professional development and commitment to physiotherapy-led teaching standards.

Flexible Upskilling Options & Exclusive Pricing

This advanced pathway is offered at significantly reduced pricing for already-qualified instructors:

40% off in-person training (at any location offering intakes)**
25% off online, self-paced training**

This allows experienced instructors to access high-level education without duplicating certification costs.

Eligibility & How to Apply

To be eligible for the Advanced Upskilling Pathway, instructors must:

Hold an existing qualification in the relevant discipline (Mat**, Reformer**, Studio Equipment, Barre, etc.)

To apply, please email contact@bodyform.com.au with:

A PDF copy of your existing qualification
Which discipline (eg. Trapeze Table)
Learning delivery option** - eg. in person (which location eg Los Angeles April 2026 intake) or online

Our team will confirm eligibility and provide next steps, including the discount code.

Why Instructors Choose Body Form for Pilates Upskilling

Unlike many Pilates CPD or upskilling courses, Body Form Education delivers:

Physiotherapist-led instruction
Evidence-based, clinically informed education
Practical, real-world teaching frameworks
Confidence working with injuries, pregnancy, and mixed-ability classes
Globally respected professional development

This pathway is for instructors who want more than choreography and who care about career longevity, confidence, and professional credibility.
