FAQs
What's the difference between ONLINE and FACE TO FACE training?
The face-to-face course includes a strong practical component. During the training, we cover mentoring, detailed repertoire learning, real-time feedback, community support, teaching hours, and your practical assessment.
If you choose the online-only option, you will need to arrange your own teaching hours: 30 hours for Mat Pilates and 30 hours for Reformer Pilates. These hours must be signed off by a qualified instructor who can provide feedback, or you can submit videos to our team so we can review your teaching, provide feedback, and support your progress.
For your final practical assessment, you will need to submit a video of yourself teaching a planned class, which will be assessed by our team.
The online option is ideal for people who require greater flexibility and are comfortable completing the practical components independently while receiving feedback remotely.
Which course should I take: Face-to-Face or Online?
Both delivery options provide the same course content, assessments and qualification outcomes, so the best choice depends on your learning style, schedule and personal preferences.
Face-to-Face Training
Face-to-face learning is ideal if you enjoy hands-on practical experience, learning alongside other students and receiving immediate feedback from trainers. This option provides structured learning, opportunities to ask questions in real time and valuable networking with peers and industry professionals.
Online Training
Online learning offers greater flexibility and allows you to study at your own pace, from anywhere. This option is well suited to students balancing work, family or other commitments and those who are comfortable managing their own study schedule.
Not sure which option is right for you?
Consider the following questions:
- Do you prefer learning in a structured classroom environment or independently?
- Can you commit to scheduled training days, or do you need flexibility?
- Do you learn best through hands-on practice and discussion, or through self-directed study?
- How confident are you in managing your own study time and staying motivated?
