THE COURSE

What this actually is.

This is the Level 3 Mat Pilates qualification and the Level 3 Reformer Pilates qualification, taught as one route.

Mat comes first whichever way you buy it, because Reformer builds on the method you learn there. Taking both together costs less than buying them separately and means you leave able to teach either, which is what most studios are actually recruiting for. If you are not sure yet, start with Mat alone and come back.

IS THIS THE RIGHT COURSE

If you already know you want to teach both, buying them separately is the expensive way.

Mat comes first whichever route you take, because Reformer builds on the method you learn there. The only real question is whether you pay for them once or twice.

Look elsewhere if

  • You are not sure Pilates is for you yet. Start with mat alone
  • You have no access to a reformer to practise on

Why we are able to offer it

98.8% of learners rate the course as satisfactory or better. A qualification people do not rate is not worth selling, so if the course does not do what we say it does, we should not be keeping your money.

Right one · before you start 14 days to change your mind.

You have 14 days from the day you enrol to change your mind, for any reason. Fully online courses keep the full 14 days. Where a course includes in-person elements and you attend one inside the 14 days, the cancellation right ends at that point.

Right two · after you finish The Cast Iron Guarantee.

A separate promise that applies once you have completed the course. It is not a cancellation right and it is not affected by the 14 day period. Both exist, and you do not have to choose between them.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Questions people ask before enrolling.

Can I teach Mat and Reformer Pilates after the bundle?

Yes. On completing the bundle you’ll be qualified to teach both Mat and Reformer Pilates, in group classes and one-to-one sessions.

Do I need Mat Pilates before Reformer on the bundle?

Yes – the bundle is a cost effective way of buying both qualifications. You complete them in order with Mat first, followed by Reformer once complete. As Mat is a pre-requisite for Reformer, they must be completed in this order.

How long does the Level 3 Pilates Instructor Bundle take?

Level 3 Mat takes around 12-16 weeks to complete, and Level 3 Reformer takes around the same amount of time. So typically it will take around 6 months to complete the full Level 3 Mat + Reformer pathway.

Is the Pilates bundle better than separate courses?

It depends on what qualifications you already hold. Level 3 Mat is a pre-requisite for Level 3 Reformer, so if you don’t already hold a Level 3 Mat Pilates qualification, the bundle is the best option. It works out £500 cheaper than buying the two courses separately, builds a complete Mat + Reformer skillset, and means you don’t have to come back and re-enrol later to add Reformer.

What support do I get on the Pilates Instructor Bundle?

You’ll have dedicated tutor support, personal feedback on your assessments, and guidance throughout the course, plus the practical workshops and assessment days.

READY WHEN YOU ARE

Qualified to teach either, and employable in a studio.

Both qualifications as one route, which is what most studios are recruiting for and cheaper than buying them apart.
