Best Pilates Certification Programs

So, you’re interested in becoming a Pilates Instructor?

Here’s what you need to know!

It is important to ask as many questions as you can and talk to both the trainer you will be working with as well as previous graduates of the certification program you are researching.

So there are basically two types of Pilates Certification Programs out there-

ACCREDITED PROGRAMS that offer Courses that are recognised by the Australian Government, by Professional Associations and by Insurers.

NON-ACCREDITED PROGRAMS that offer Courses that are not necessarily recognised by the Government, by Professional Associations or by Insurers.

So which one you choose is ultimately up to you, but if you want to actually use your Certification then it is worth considering going with an Accredited Program.
