Practical Workshops

While you are training you can get student insurance from a company called Balens in order to teach, but you must declare that you are in training and charge a lower rate than you would if you were a fully qualified Pilates Instructor. You will, of course, need a proof of training letter from us in order to do this, and it will also be subject to eligibility criteria.

Many of our students complete a module and then choose to take a study break before continuing to the next one. If there comes a time when you feel you need a break in your studies this can be arranged by contacting our Learners Support team on 01329 823400, who will be able to guide you through your options. (Please note that extension or deferral fees may be applicable and if you are paying by instalments these must still be paid as agreed).

No prior knowledge or work experience is needed to study any of our courses.

Comparing courses and prices can help you understand exactly what you're looking for and what features are important to you. Check out our Top 7 Things to Look For When Choosing a Training Provider. You can also compare courses & pricing by looking out for the following criteria:

• Flexible Learning Style and Payment Options
• Dedicated Support Services
• Course Contents & Length (that fit with your lifestyle, interests and goals)
• Course Locations and Ease of Access
• Accreditations & Career Development
• CPD Courses (does the course give you the best-continued development into your career?)

We have created a comprehensive checklist with 130 comparison points to help you get your research done quickly, focus on criteria that matter the most, and hit your career goals (without stress). Click here to get started

Anyone from the age of 16 can enrol and complete any of our non-practical e-learning courses. Practical courses can only be attended on or after your 18th birthday but can be enrolled on and booked in advance of this.

Many gyms will accept applicants of 16 years of age, but be aware that if you are planning to work outside of clubs or leisure centres as a Personal Trainer, an Exercise to Music Instructor or a Pilates Teacher, you may not be eligible for the required insurance until you are 18 years old or over.

For more information on course entry requirements and admissions please contact one of our Careers Advisers who will be happy to answer any of your questions.
