RPC is a very comprehensive teacher training program. As such, our students and graduates are prepared for nearly any situation that might arise in a Pilates studio. It takes about 4 months to complete the Mat & Small Barrels course and one year to complete the Comprehensive course. That said, often our students have full-time jobs or other time constraints, in which case they are welcome to take longer to finish their program. Many of our students are working as apprentice teachers while completing their hours.

Required: For Comprehensive (600 hours) Mat & Barrels Certification (150 hours) of combined observation, student teaching, and practice. Anatomy & Physiology 1 & 2 at a college level or equivalent before the practicum. We have a course that meets this requirement - see our registration page for information on The Lab | Anatomy or see our FAQ page for a way to do the anatomy requirement for free. Once hours and anatomy are completed, there are practical exams consisting of in-person teaching as well as written case studies and a quiz. You may begin your hours as soon as you register.

Comprehensive has 4 leveled practical exams and Mat/Barrel have 1 practical exam.

“Learning how to understand and recognize postural alignment in a body really helped me understand Pilates as a uniform system, as well as how to organize a flow and have intentional cueing. RPC taught me that!”

— Happy Student Whitney S., obtaining her 2nd certification with RPC

**Course includes course audits for life.**

After you register you’ll receive a welcome email explaining what the next steps are. Your manuals will be waiting for you when you arrive on the first day. Once a student with us, you are always a student with us. As such, audits of any module are included in your registration for life - any where, any time. We look forward to meeting you and going along this journey with you! Feel free to reach out to us at any time and be sure to enroll in our digital network right away! (details will be in that welcome email.) You can get started right away on hours.

Before to Prepare

Start tracking your hours with comprehensively trained teachers or RPC students. Reach out to your faculty or host studio to start working towards hours if you do not know how to start. We recommend taking classes with classically trained instructors with at least 450 hours of training in their certification.

Reading list

Return to Life by Joseph Pilates is required reading. Titles written by Blandine Calais-Germain, especially Anatomy of Movement are helpful supplements to your anatomy journey. The Anatomy Trail Guide is a valuable anatomy text and can assist a beginner teacher in recognizing and recruiting particular muscles and muscle groups.

Anatomy

If students have not completed Anatomy and Physiology I & II at a college level or the equivalent, completion of this education is required. We have our own Anatomy course that will fulfill this requirement.

Practicum

Each student takes a series of what we call “level assessments” as part of a cumulative Practical Exam. The components include video submissions, in-person teaching, written case studies and a quiz.
