PFS PILATES® PROP-05 – Module Certificate

After the module you receive a module certificate confirming the module, its hours and how it was assessed. You download it from our e-learning platform after the course.

Towards the full certification: this module counts as one of the 10 modules required for the PFS PILATES® INSTRUCTOR Advanced Professional Certification (EQF level 4), together with the practice logbook and the REPs Polska exams.

A module certificate 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 module 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).
