Course Information

 

CONVERSION COURSE 2010

As from 2010 ALL Pilates Training Companies will have to offer an awarding body accredited level 3 course to meet the requirements set by Skills Active. This is about standardisation of training and qualifications.

Many instructors have trained with companies who offer their own certification. You may be required or wish to convert your existing qualification to a CYQ level 3 Pilates Matwork Qualification, we are offering a conversion day. This will enable you to complete the assessments, without having to attend a whole course.

We will talk you through the requirements of the qualification, explain how to put your portfolio together, register you with CYQ and assess you once you have completed your work. We are offering this course for just £195. See Course Dates
