For teachers trained at another school

Already certified? Start at step 2.

You trained at another school. You don’t repeat what you know: the free Entry Assessment decides whether you join step 2, the Skillful Teaching Integration Training: two weeks in person, to experience how we teach and to decide whether you want to go on to the Professional Teacher Certificate.

Step 2, 2 weeks in Bangkok or France, from €2,900 (THB 109,000). The Entry Assessment is free.

Experience the method, without starting again

Experience how we teach

The step 2 courses are designed and directed by Patricia Duchaussoy, Founder & Director of Education, and taught by her and the educators she has trained. Two weeks in the studio show you the method from the inside: reading the body, cueing, hands-on correction.

Nothing repeated

Your first training counts. Step 2 builds on what you know and teaches you how to become an excellent teacher, also for clients with back pain, scoliosis, before and after birth, after an injury.

Decide afterwards

After step 2 you decide whether to go on to step 3 and the Professional Teacher Certificate.

Trained at another school?

Your way to the Professional Teacher Certificate

You do not start again. If you are certified in at least Matwork and Reformer, you can apply to join us at step 2.

1

Entry Assessment

Free and online. It decides whether you can join the Skillful Teaching Integration Training: your training so far, your teaching and a short knowledge check.

2

Step 2: Skillful Teaching Integration Training

Two weeks in person, in Bangkok or France, together with teachers who come from our step 1, with a practical assessment at the end.

3

Chair, Barrels & Cadillac, only if missing

Already trained on all apparatus? Then there is nothing to make up. Otherwise you complete the missing apparatus with us, in Bangkok or, if a place is free, in France. Then you receive the Integration Instructor Certificate.

Step 3

A real class with a real client on video, assessed by the SPI education team: the Professional Teacher Certificate.

The assessment

Let’s see where you stand

Part A: your background. Where you trained, how long you have taught, and your certificates.

Part B: your motivation. What you want to improve as a teacher.

Part C: foundation knowledge. Eight short questions in your own words, 20 minutes.

It is free and it is not an exam. It shows us where you stand, so that the training can meet you at the right level.

“I learned more in detail, and I just found out that one body can actually have different issues.”

Teachers who trained elsewhere first

“I actually traveled how many hours just to get here, to get like really real Pilates education from Patricia.”

Graduate from Australia, teacher training in Bangkok

“I would really, really highly recommend the training that you have here in Swiss Pilates, especially with Miss Patricia, because she delivers, and she has answers to most of the questions that we throw to her.”

Graduate from the Philippines, teacher training in Bangkok

“I never learned the true breathwork any time I went to a Pilates course.”

Your questions, answered

A Pilates teacher training from another school with at least Matwork and Reformer, and your own teaching. We don’t keep a list of schools; the assessment shows us where you stand.

Then we tell you honestly and suggest the way that serves you best, for example the Chair, Barrels and Cadillac days, or step 1, The Pilates System Training.

If you are already trained on all apparatus, you receive the Integration Instructor Certificate when you pass the practical assessment at the end of step 2. If your training covered Matwork and Reformer only, you first receive a Letter of Completion; it is exchanged for the certificate once you have completed Chair, Barrels and Cadillac with us. You do not repeat step 2.

No. You can take step 2 to experience the method and decide afterwards. Step 3, the video assessment of a real class, leads to the Professional Teacher Certificate.

In Bangkok at Swiss Pilates Rain Hill and on residential retreats in the French countryside.
