INITIAL ASSESSMENT/PRE-REQUISITES

Considering that applicants to the training program have different professional backgrounds and knowledge of the Pilates method, admission is subject to an initial assessment to verify each candidate’s potential as a future teacher in the organization. Applicants must demonstrate proficiency at the intermediate level on all key apparatuses, particularly the universal reformer and mat, and be physically prepared to undertake a rigorous training program.
Any Romana’s Pilates International teacher in Spain with a valid certification can help you prepare for this entry examination. However, it is recommended that you consider taking the certification prep course. Taught by hand-picked coordinators who have been trained for this work, it is specially designed for this stage.
Once you have passed the entrance examination, you can enroll in the Instructor Training Program.

– At this point the student will be eligible to request an appointment to take the final exam, which must be taken
within 18 months of starting the program.

Private Classes

It is essential for students to take private classes during the training program. A minimum of six are required in each phase of the program, two of which will be taught by Javier Pérez Pont. These classes are included in the program tuition. The other four must be taken with coordinators and paid for separately. The student is encouraged to take as many additional classes as possible to reach the highest level in their own Pilates practice before finishing the instructor training course. As this is an independent study program, these additional classes may be taken with any instructor with a valid Romana’s Pilates International certification.
To receive credit for the hours, make sure to note these classes in your training log with the signature of the instructor.
