This Level 3 diploma is certified by YMCA and is recognised by CIMSPA (the Chartered Institute for the Management of Sport and Physical Activity). 

The course is taught through a mixture of:

• pre-recorded videos and audios that you can access at any time

• filling in a Learner Assessment Record (including creating your own 12-week Pilates class curriculum)

• taking part in 4 x 2-hour live sessions as well as practice teaching in between calls

Because we're working on an online basis the sessions are shorter but much more intensive than in an in-person setting. It will be expected that you complete work outside of those contact hours and you will receive unlimited email support during the course to help you do this.

I will work with you to ensure that this course is completed in as little as 3 months and you will be assessed in month four. However, working online gives us flexibility so this assessment will only take place when you feel ready.
