Intro
Our Level 4 matwork Pilates course is the highest-level Pilates qualification in the UK. If you want to take your career as a Pilates teacher to the highest level, then this is absolutely the Pilates programme for you.
The Level 4 Pilates certificate is accredited by Active IQ and fully endorsed by CIMSPA. It’s also internationally-recognised meaning the opportunities to use this qualification are incredibly far-reaching.
The course content expands on the classical matwork repertoire, applying more rigour and depth to both the anatomical and applied elements. Additionally, it incorporates more contemporary and scientifically validated research surrounding movement control, dysfunction, impairment and musculoskeletal pain, which is a common reason why many people turn to Pilates.
Combining a period of supported home-study with 6-days of practical attendance, students will have plenty of time to layer their learning, apply what they are taught practically, before being assessed on the final training day.
To be the best then you’ll need to learn from the best. The home-study content boasts over 40 online lectures written and presented by one of our clinical Pilates teachers, who has a vast range of physiotherapy and Pilates-based qualifications and experience. You’ll also receive a comprehensive training manual which explains everything you need to know to achieve the qualification and succeed in this profession.
Similar to our level 3 Pilates course, the level 4 programme consist of six practical days split over three separate weekends. Our practical weekends are taught by a team of highly experienced subject specialists who will work tirelessly to ensure you develop you advanced matwork Pilates knowledge and skills.
