Finding the Best Pilates Course in Ireland

Are you a fitness instructor or a personal trainer wanting to get other qualifications? Why not enrol in a Pilates instructor course?

Becoming a successful fitness instructor or personal trainer requires constant work. This does not solely mean clocking up more hours at the gym or health studio but also earning specialised qualifications. This is necessary to stay competitive, be more effective and grow your clientele.

If you are thinking about expanding your skillset and earning an additional certification, consider taking up a Pilates course. Qualifying as a Pilates teacher is a good idea, especially since this disciplineโ€™s popularity has been steadily growing over the years. In fact, demand is so high that classes are fully booked months in advanced. Suffice to say, opportunities abound in this field and the earning potential is high. So, if you want an additional stream of income, this qualification is worth pursuing.

Currently, there are a number of training providers offering Pilates course, but  only NTC offer a REPs Ireland EQF Level 4 accredited course, ensuring high quality education. So, you have to do your due diligence to find the best Pilates course in Ireland. This means doing extensive research to ensure that you enrol in a programme of study that is going to arm you with the competencies needed to effectively teach this exercise discipline.

Whatโ€™s offered in most gyms and health studios are mat-based Pilates classes so having a diploma in Pilates Matwork is a step in the right direction. Just be sure that you remain meticulous when picking a Pilates Matwork certification. Ensure that the course covers relevant areas, from anatomy and physiology to the complete Joseph Pilates repertoire. To widen your client base, see to it that the programme tackles handling Pilates classes for special populations since this exercise is also prescribed to elderly people and pregnant women.

How do you look for a Pilates course? The simplest and quickest way to accomplish this task is to do an Internet research. Using a search engine like Google, key in the phrase โ€œbest Pilates course in Irelandโ€ and youโ€™ll be presented with thousands of results. Keep in mind, though, that your quest to find the best Pilates instructor certification does not end by picking the course at the top of the search list. As mentioned earlier, this task requires extensive research.

From the search results, pick at least five courses and find out more about each of them. Aside from learning about the coverage of the course of study, check the qualification youโ€™ll earn at the end of the course. Is it a level 3 diploma in teaching Pilates or an EQF level 4 advanced diploma in Pilates Matwork? The latter is the best option if you want to stay ahead of your competitors since this type of qualification is the highest there is in Europe for a Pilates instructor. It is also imperative that the course is accredited by reputable organisations like YMCA Awards and REPs Ireland, especially if you want your credentials to be recognised abroad.

Of course, you also need to determine who the teachers would be. If you want to be the best Pilates teacher, you have to learn from the best. It is important that your teachers are experts in this discipline. They should have the required qualifications and more importantly, years of experience working in the industry.

Lastly, do not forget to check how much youโ€™d be paying to earn the certification. A word of caution โ€“ please do not pick a course just because of its cheap fees. Yes, it is important that you choose one thatโ€™s affordable. But if the low cost means poor quality of education, then you are just wasting money. Remember, the best Pilates course in Ireland is neither cheap nor expensive; it is reasonably priced. So, pick the best you can afford. After all, this is an investment that promises very good returns.
