Course content written and delivered by the some of the industry's best physiotherapists and Pilates teachers.
FAQs
From course content to career progression, we've answered the most frequently asked questions about our Pilates instructor courses.
How much prior knowledge or experience do I need?
Ideally, you will already hold a recognised Level 2 Fitness Instructor qualification, however this isn’t mandatory and there are no formal prerequisites.
It would also be beneficial if you had experience of performing Pilates exercises or attending regular classes. If you don’t have any experience, it’s not a problem – you’ll just need to ensure that you give yourself more time to complete the home-study activities before attending your course.
Once I've qualified, where can I find work?
Qualified Pilates instructors are highly sought after in the fitness industry and there are a wide-range of opportunities open to them.
While this list is far from exhaustive, instructors can work in private health clubs, dance studios, holiday resorts, local authority leisure centres and even work on a one-to-one basis with clients from the comfort of their own home. It’s also quite common for Pilates teachers to work in the rehab sector alongside physiotherapists and massage therapists.
How is this Pilates course delivered?
In order to get the most out of our students, we use a blended learning model for our courses. This simply means that you'll engage in a period fully supported home study, complemented by face-to-face practical workshops. The number of days that you’ll be required to attend will depend on the specific package that you select. Throughout your course, you’ll have full access to a team of industry-leading support tutors and award-winning learning materials and resources.
What will I learn on my Pilates course?
Generally speaking, this course will teach you everything you need to know to be a competent teacher. You’ll learn about anatomy, physiology, the history of Pilates, the principles of the method, how to programme a Pilates session and the best ways to teach the exercises.
For a more detailed look at the various units, please visit the Pilates course page.
Are your Pilates instructor courses recognised?
Our Level 3 Diploma in Mat Pilates is certificated by YMCA Awards, the industry's original awarding body. We're also accredited by the Register of Exercise Professionals (REPs) and endorsed by CIMSPA.
Are there opportunities to progress once I've qualified?
Many of our graduates choose to further their studies and increase their opportunities once they have completed their course. Yoga is especially common because it has many parallels to Pilates.
Personal trainers and sports massage therapists will also find this Pilates instructor qualification as a useful add on to their services.

Having now completed my first year…
2017-11-15Having now completed my first year with Gregg I feel like I have really gained a lot of knowledge that has prepared me to continue my second year with HFE and Gregg, over all I’m very grateful the opportunity that has been given to me.

Great value for money
2018-06-08Great value for money. Excellent instructors with really helpful tips about the art of teaching as opposed to the discipline of practice. Learnt how different the two are. Really helpful staff in the office.

Very useful course
2015-10-12Useful course and a stepping stone to the Level 4. The course was interesting and included a lot of information. The Level 3 Nutrition section of this course was an eye opener and changed my eating habits.

Never had support like it
2015-03-17My tutor Martyn has been excellent throughout my course so far he answers all my questions and been very helpful. On the actually practical days Phillippa who was my tutor was excellent she made everyone feel very comfortable and you didnt feel under pressure.
