We have completely changed how we teach Pilates. PFS PILATES® INSTRUCTOR is now an Advanced Professional Certification (EQF level 4) delivered in line with the REPs Polska Pilates standards. Instead of one long course, you choose from 18 practical modules of 8 hours each. Complete any 10 modules to apply for the full certification – or take only the modules you need.
We only offer the modules that we can deliver to the highest educational standard – with qualified teachers, proper practice time and real feedback on your teaching.
Where to start: we recommend starting with the Pilates Mat modules. The final practical exam is a Pilates Mat exam, and the props and Reformer modules build on Mat foundations.

Can I take only one Pilates module?
Yes. Every module can be booked on its own and you receive a module certificate. Each completed module counts towards the full certification.
How many modules do I need for the full Pilates Instructor certification?
10 modules of your choice from the 18 available, plus documented practice and passed REPs Polska exams.
How much does the Pilates Instructor course cost?
€295 per module, or €2,360 for a package of 10 modules – you pay for 8 and get 10.
What level is the qualification?
PFS PILATES® INSTRUCTOR is an Advanced Professional Certification at EQF level 4, delivered in line with REPs Polska standards.
I already have a Pilates qualification. Do I start from zero?
No. You can choose the modules that complete your knowledge. Previous training can be assessed according to the REPs Polska recognition rules.
No previous qualifications are required to start with MAT-01. A keen interest in Pilates and a reasonable level of flexibility are recommended, and we encourage taking Pilates classes before the course.
For the full certification you must confirm your knowledge of anatomy and physiology. You can complete our online course PFS Functional Anatomy & Physiology® at your own pace.
Props (PROP) and Reformer (APP) modules: to book them you must have completed MAT-01 and MAT-03 and passed the PFS Functional Anatomy & Physiology® – Level 2 exam. APP-02 also requires APP-01.
Pilates is usually practised barefoot. Black grip socks, barefoot-style shoes, ballet practice shoes or Pilates shoes are all acceptable.
Please inform us during registration if you have any learning difficulties or disabilities so we can accommodate you appropriately.
Each module: 8 hours of learning (one day). Breaks are not included in the learning hours. Some modules can also run as two-day blocks of 16 hours.
| Element | Hours |
| 10 modules of your choice (8 hours each) | 80 |
| Final assessment and feedback | 2 |
| Observation of Pilates sessions (logbook) | 12 |
| Own practice (logbook) | 16 |
| Supervised teaching practice (logbook) | 16 |
Practical work and Reformer training take place face to face in the studio. Observation, own practice and teaching practice are completed between modules and recorded in your logbook.
Dates and locations of each module are listed under Course Dates.
The exams for the full certification follow the REPs Polska standards:
The examiner observes your preparation of the participant, choice of exercises, demonstration, breathing, communication, corrections, transitions and how you close the session. The examiner does not prompt or correct you during the assessment and only steps in if safety is at risk. You receive feedback after the exam.
Before the final exam you must complete 10 modules and your practice logbook (observation, own practice and teaching practice).
Single modules end with an assessment of the module's learning outcomes.
Please check our Terms and Conditions for the examination procedures and repeats.
Module certificate: after each module you receive a certificate confirming the module, its hours and how it was assessed.
Full certification: awarded after completing 10 modules of your choice, the practice logbook and the REPs Polska exams.
A module certificate or a certificate of attendance is not the full Pilates Instructor qualification. Pilates instructors do not diagnose or treat medical conditions; clients who need rehabilitation are referred to a qualified specialist.

The course is delivered in line with the REPs Polska Pilates standards. PFS Pilates Instructor qualifications meet international standards developed and published by the European Health & Fitness Association (EHFA). |
