The Integrated Pilates Teacher Course (IPTC) is a COMPOSITE program comprising Modules in Exercise Sciences and Pilates. It is structured with due consideration to the following principles.
- Each Pilates student will receive in Theory & Practice, to the extent possible, the fullest information relating to history and philosophy of Joseph Pilates and his “Body Contrology”
- Each academic module (“Module”) logically leads the student to the next higher “Module” such that he / she gains mastery of theory that is practically applicable and practice which is based on principles of science.
- The IPTC allows the student to pick the learning pathway and progress at a pace that works best for him / her. A student can get certified in the individual Modules or gather all the Modules and become a certified Integrated Pilates Teacher.
- The student evaluation will be based on assessment of theoretical understanding, grasp of practical training and ability to deliver knowledge to clients.
- Develop a competent Pilates teacher recognized and respected internationally.
