ADMISSION

Many of our Pure Form graduates have chosen to become a Pilates Instructor to enhance their passion for fitness, embark on a new career or supplement their current income. We strongly recommend that before commencing your Pure Form course that your personal Pilates practice and your foundational knowledge of the work are both solid. Knowing Pilates in your own body will not only give you an appreciation of the method, it will also help you teach it to your clients. Participate in a few Pilates classes at PURE or your local studio and watch a few PURE Pilates DVDs before course commences.

As a guide we recommend:

Minimum participation of 10 Pilates classes prior to course commencement

Absenteeism & Make-up Hours

It is strongly advised that make-up hours are done as soon as possible after they are missed – especially if it occurs in the middle of a course. This allows students to cover the missed material prior to returning to the course. Please note that this is done in private review at the student’s expense. Students have six months to make up any hours missed. If they exceed this timeline, the course is forfeited and the entire course must be retaken in order to examine and certify.

Upon successful completion of the exam, students are considered certified instructors from their exam date.
