The Road To Certification:
Once your 2 day intensive course is complete, you will then put it all into practice by completing:-
30 Observation hours (observing other teachers using our online platform or by attending other teachers classes)
35 personal study hours (practicing every exercise in the manual on your own body and understanding the exercises inside out)
15 practice teaching hours (planning & delivering 15 hours of practice classes)
These hours ensure that once you pass your exams, you are ‘industry ready’ and can teach confidently and competently in studios. Our students are highly sought after in studios as they already have hands-on experience teaching clients and therefore you are more likely to get a job and pay back your initial training investment.
It is the responsibility of each student to organise and complete these hours and you will of course need access to a reformer to do this. Many of our students rent the studio at our training centre (£30 per hour) or their local studio and then charge their clients a small fee to cover the cost. This is a bargain for the clients and means that you don’t incur any further cost!
Exams:
Once these hours are logged and you feel confident and competent with your teaching, you will be eligible to take your exams. We structure our courses to set you up for success in your exams
The Practical Exam requires you to program and deliver a 45 minute class to demonstrate your ability to plan & deliver in a real life studio setting. We will then ask you to teach 5 exercises at random from the manual to ensure you have a compressive understanding of the entire manual. You will need to source a client to teach, access to a reformer and this will be done with us across zoom.
The exams are covered as part of the training price; there is no additional cost.
