THE ONE-TO-ONE 
TEACHER TRAINING APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAMME IN THE UK

The Teacher Training Apprenticeship in the UK explained:

This One-to-One training, offers the flexibility to work with your schedule and needs.

This CPM qualification entitles you to sit the PMA Third Party Certification on completion.

Programme overview:

This fully comprehensive programme is the first Pilates Teacher Training to incorporate the teaching and unique application of the neuromyofascial system, experienced and recognised through the Pilates Method training. The Pilates Method is studied and learnt through a neuromyofascial lens, utilising the Anatomy Trains map.

This multi-level, multi-dimensional programme is an in-depth study of the nature of the body. It teaches the original, now somewhat historical, teachings of Joseph and Clara Pilates and others dedicated to their work. It is a fully comprehensive training, covering the complete and original Pilates Studio repertoire.

This multi-level, multi-dimensional programme is an in-depth study of the nature of the body. It teaches the original work of Joseph and Clara Pilates and others dedicated to their work. It is a fully comprehensive training, covering the complete and original Pilates Studio repertoire. Combining Joseph Pilates’ seminal work with universal movement principals and the anatomy of fascia, this training teaches you how to “return to life”.

The Programme explained:

  • Your training is taught on a private/semi-private basis, so your hours can be chosen to suit your lifestyle (subject to studio and teacher availability).
  • Should you need to, you are able to book your training hours in blocks of time rather than having to get to the Studio daily or weekly.  This is very useful should you be living in another country or far away from the studio.
  • You will be doing your training hours, observation and self practice hours with any 3 of our Faculty teachers who are in Zurich, Houston, Dubai and the UK (in Chippenham, Devon or Chipperfield).
  • The training can take anything from 18 to 36 months to complete, depending on the time you are able to dedicate to it.
  • A Preparatory Programme must precede the One-to-One Apprenticeship.  This is the foundation to the training and can take anything from 3 to 9 months depending on your previous experience. 
  • Please see the full details and costs here: Preparatory Programme Details
  • Should personal circumstances call for it, there is an option to freeze your training: your course hours will be put on hold for an agreed period of time (subject to terms and conditions).

Please note that whereas the full programme fee covers all 450 training hours in the USA, the UK and Zurich, it does not cover travel and accommodation costs for your time in Europe or the USA.
