What do I need to know about the Pilates teaching assessments?

Pilates cohorts complete their teaching assessments across two scheduled assessment days. Understanding what to expect will help you feel prepared, confident, and ready to perform at your best.

Key things to know:

• Cohorts are split across two assessment days
  Each group is divided into two dates, with around six learners per day.

• You must bring one guest
  Your guest will take part in your class and help you demonstrate safe cueing, flow, and technical teaching.
  (If you are struggling to find a guest, contact us early and we will discuss options.)

• You must be available for one of the two assessment dates
  Please make sure you can commit to at least one before enrolling on the course.

• You will teach a full 60-minute class
  This includes:

  • A structured warm-up

  • A progressive main section

  • A cool-down

  • Safe transitions and clear teaching throughout

  After teaching, you will complete:

  • A written self-evaluation

  • A post-teaching discussion with your assessor

• You will also participate in other learners’ assessments
  This helps create realistic class environments and is an important part of the assessment process.

• You’ll receive your result the same day
  Whether you have passed or been referred, you will be told before you leave.

  • If referred, you’ll receive a clear action plan and tailored support to help you prepare for your reassessment.

• Assessment day timings
  Assessment days usually run from 9:30am to 5:30pm, depending on the number of learners and scheduling.

💡 Tip: Treat your teaching assessment like a real class — bring your best energy, communicate clearly, and focus on safe movement quality. If you have any concerns beforehand, use the chatbot and type “Speak to a human” so we can help you feel prepared.
