Stott Pilates Certification

You can pursue full certification through Stott Pilates or focus on the mat repertoire.

Stott Pilates is an international Pilates instructor training and certification program. The Stott program is highly respected worldwide and offers a comprehensive certification program that will prepare you to teach the Pilates Method in group and individual settings.

Types

Stott offers training in mat work, apparatus and specialty courses. You can get certified in basic or advanced levels in mat and apparatus work. Courses include practical and theoretical study, observation and final tests.

Preparation

Prerequisites for certification in the basic Pilates repertoire include at least 30 hours of exposure to Pilates. Advanced, accelerated and specialty courses require previous experience in the fitness industry or certification from another Pilates training program.

Considerations

After certification, you will need to complete continuing education to keep your certification up to date. Once you have completed the basic levels of certification, you can pursue specialty tracks, such as athletic conditioning, golf conditioning, post-rehabilitation conditioning, active for life, and pre- and post-natal.
