Pilates CPD courses and workshops
Align your Pilates career with the highest standards with our range of Pilates CPD courses and workshops.
Continuing professional development, or CPD as it is more widely known, is an important feature of profession, but is especially important for Pilates teachers and instructors. Pilates teachers need to ensure that their knowledge and skills are continually sharp and up to date.
The very nature of Pilates and the many therapeutic benefits that it offers means that a wide-range of mixed ability participants are attracted to Pilates classes and sessions, many of whom have special and complex needs. Pilates teachers need a rich and diverse knowledge of how to adapt their sessions safely and effectively to meet these needs, which is why regular and ongoing CPD is so important.
