Pilates Teacher Training Certification
Whether you're starting your Pilates teaching career or expanding an existing qualification, Body Form Education offers fully online certification pathways across Mat Pilates, Reformer Pilates, Studio Equipment and Barre.

How Does Practical Training Work Online?
Fully Online teacher training still includes practical learning and assessment.
Students use the required Pilates equipment, record teaching and movement tasks as directed, and submit practical work for educator review. Depending on the certification, this may include exercise demonstrations, teaching practice, class planning, practical teaching videos and equipment-safety requirements.
Educators assess the same practical competencies used within the corresponding Hybrid pathway, including:
-
Equipment setup and safety
-
Exercise technique
-
Verbal, visual and tactile cueing within scope
-
Movement observation
-
Exercise progressions and regressions
-
Programming and class structure
-
Injury, pregnancy and client-specific modifications
-
Professional communication and teaching practice
Students are responsible for arranging access to the equipment required to complete the practical learning and assessment requirements for their chosen certification.
