Comprehensive training

THE PILATES STANDARD Studio Apparatus Training is the most extensive program currently offered.

It is a 9-month training in which 450-600 practice hours are required. The program covers exercises at all levels on the Mat, Reformer, Cadillac, Chairs, Barrel, Ped-O-Pull and Magic Circle. The program is also offered as a 12-day intensive. In this Studio Apparatus training we teach how to give Pilates lessons to clients of all ages and fitness levels, using all apparatus in a systematic way, applying the Pilates principles regarding: FIRST TIMER, INTRO, IDEAL and CHALLENGE exercises.

6 intensive weekends (1. FIRST TIMER level, 2. INTRO level, 3. IDEAL level, 4. IDEAL level, 5. IDEAL level and orthopaedic fundamentals, 6. CHALLENGE level), 24 hours of student meetings (mandatory), 450-600 observation hours in a THE PILATES STANDARD studio or an approved studio (observation hours start after the first weekend). THE PILATES STANDARD reserves the right to determine the required number of hours per student; attend at least 1 Pilates session per week (THE PILATES STANDARD may change the required number of training hours per student). Teach 1 beginner class in an approved studio. During THE PILATES STANDARD studio apparatus training, 450 to 600 observation hours are required before taking the final exam.

The exact number of hours varies from student to student depending on how the teaching material is absorbed. Do not compare yourself to other students. After the first weekend you start observing. Complete your hours in the studio where you will finish them. The training takes 9-18 months. If more time is needed, additional costs may be required.
