Barre Teacher Training Course Beginner, Intermediate & Advanced.
This isn’t just any Barre course - it’s the result of years spent teaching thousands of classes, fine-tuning what really works, and pouring all that experience into one beautifully designed training. Our course is the only Barre teacher Training Certification in the UK that is accredited with The Barre Fitness Alliance!
We’ve created a comprehensive programme that goes beyond choreography, giving you the knowledge, tools, and confidence to step into any studio and teach with flair.
You’ll explore where it all began, from the origins of Lotte Berk to how Barre evolved into the dynamic, high energy method we know today.
We’ll break down the differences between classical and contemporary styles, cover movement patterns both at the barre and on the floor, and teach you the signature exercises that give Barre its unique technique, principles, and unmistakable burn.
If you’re ready to become the kind of Barre teacher clients rave about - this is where it starts.
What’s included:
In person practical training in a luxury boutique pilates studio. Our certification will focus on the fundamental execution of each exercise along with the anatomy and biomechanics, how to cue, correct, modify and progress each exercise as well as how to program and transition through the exercises. Layered on top of this will be additional skills such as inclusive language training, classroom management skills and pre/post natal basics so that you leave the course feeling industry ready!
Your manual and learning materials. Stay ahead of the curve with textbooks and learning materials that are refreshed monthly, so you’re always up to date with the latest Pilates trends and exercise science
Human Movement- Our Anatomy & Physiology training that is thorough and comprehensive, yet easy to understand and delivered in a way that just makes sense!
An extensive video resource to help you review, revise, and master each exercise at your own pace.
Ongoing coaching and encouragement to keep you growing.
The Road To Certification:
Once your 5 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)
25 personal study hours (practicing every exercise in the manual on your own body and understanding the exercises inside out)
25 practice teaching hours (planning & delivering 25 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.. 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 Human Movement Exam is an online 50 question multiple choice exam.
The Barre Theory Exam is an online 30 question multiple choice exam. It is the practical application of teaching including who would and wouldn’t teach certain exercises, the goals of the exercises and how to add challenges & modifications etc.
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 and this will be done with us across zoom.
The exams are covered as part of the training price; there is no additional cost.
