Becoming a Pilates instructor can completely transform your personal and professional life. But before taking that step, there’s one key thing many people overlook: choosing a training program that not only teaches technique but also offers real support and international recognition.
Today, there are many courses and workshops available, but not all guarantee that your certification will be valid outside your city or country. At The Pilates School, we offer programs led by instructors certified by the National Pilates Certification Program (NPCP), holding the NCPT level—the highest and most respected accreditation in the industry. This ensures your training meets global standards and opens professional opportunities anywhere in the world.
We understand that each person has different goals, which is why we offer four certification paths, each with specific benefits:
Types of Pilates Certifications
Pilates Mat: The foundation of the method. Ideal for beginners who want to teach without equipment, in group or private classes.
Pilates Reformer: Focused on the method’s most iconic apparatus. Perfect for working in fully equipped studios.
Pilates Mat & Reformer: A versatile combination that allows you to teach both on the mat and with machines.
Pilates Comprehensive: Our most complete certification. Includes all apparatus and is designed for those seeking a well-rounded profile or planning to open their own studio.

Your Choice Depends on Your Goals
If you're interested in sharing your practice in group classes, Mat may be your starting point.
If your goal is to work in studios, Reformer or Mat & Reformer will give you solid tools.
If you aspire to a long-term career and holistic development, the Comprehensive certification is the ideal option.
At The Pilates School, each program is designed to support you on that journey. Whether you're looking for a career change, expanding your job opportunities, or establishing yourself as a leader in Pilates instruction, you'll find training here that goes beyond borders.
That’s why all our programs are taught by National Pilates Certification Teachers (NCPT), ensuring the highest educational quality.
