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.

Whatโs 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.

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 youโll 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.

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 youโd 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 thatโs 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.
