STEP 3. PRINT YOUR CERTIFICATE

You must complete a timed, multiple-choice test online at the end of each course level (Basic, Intermediate, and Advanced). These tests are included for free and are required to advance to the next level and complete the course. If you fail a test, you are permitted to retake the test a second time at any time without additional charge.

  • Use our training manuals for open-book tests. Manuals are optional but significantly increase the success rate of passing on the first attempt, resulting in higher test scores.
  • Once you pass a test, access to the corresponding course videos is disabled, ensuring you progress with a comprehensive understanding of the material.
  • Earn the 'Course Completion Certificate' after successfully passing all tests in a course, marking a significant step in your Pilates training and education.

Your 'Course Completion Certificate' Used for:

  • Securing employment or presenting to potential employers.
  • Gaining acceptance into Pilates apprenticeship programs.
  • Earning continuing education credits.
  • Advancing careers in fitness or healthcare.
  • Enhancing personal Pilates practice and technique.

NOTICE:

  • The 'Course Completion Certificate' designates you as a Pilates Apprentice, enabling you to start accumulating required practical hours and teach clients under the supervision of a Certified Instructor. It is an essential step toward, but not equivalent to, full certification.

  • The ultimate 'Certified Pilates Instructor Certificate' marks the peak of Pilates training and affirms your qualification as a Certified Pilates Instructor. Solely issued by The Pilates Studio® of Los Angeles—a globally recognized certifying authority—and officially authenticated by Dr. Melinda Bryan, this certification bestows all necessary permissions for top-tier practice.
