FAQs

  • What happens if we can't attend all of the in person dates?

    We can arrange 1 on 1 mentoring to catch up on the missed content. The mentoring fee is $100 per hour. The hours required will depend on each individual, as a guide a full day of in-person training would require a minimum of 2 hours private mentoring. We strongly recommend booking dates you know you can attend.

  • How long is the duration of the course?

    The course is all self paced. After you complete the second training weekend, along with your assessment items, you will be qualified.

  • Do you need to be both mat and reformer certified?

    It is not required that you have both certifications, if only teaching one modality. It is highly recommend that over the course of your Pilates education and teaching journey you are Mat and Reformer qualified. The Reformer movements are an extension of Mat movements. To have a thorough understanding of the Pilates Method we recommend competing both.

  • Can the certificate be used overseas?

    Yes your Move Certification can be used overseas. Every studio will be unique in its onboarding process. Most studios will require an audition (teaching part of a class to manager/owner of studio). The way you present at your Audition will be more important that where your certification is from

  • What is the refund policy?

    We do not offer refunds for our courses. If in the case of unforeseen circumstances we will assess this case by case. If you are unable to make your course due to illness, a medical certificate is required and we will offer you a space in the next available course

  • Do you need any extra qualifications to teach?

    You will need a current CPR & First Aid certificate and Insurance Certificate. Insurance is a simple process, once you have your MOVE certificate. If you have a specific studio you want to teach at, we recommend asking them what their requirements are because every studio is different. Some gyms or studios may require a Cert3 in Fitness, but this is the minority. We help you to navigate your entry into the industry throughout our course.

  • What is the time commitment like?

    The course is designed so people who work or study full time are able to complete it. Everything is self paced.

  • Does the certificate ever expire?

    The certificate is valid for life
