MK Pilates Studio Equipment Diplomas

Our Foundation Equipment Diploma offers all of the same training content as our Standard Equipment Diploma but with a shorter Face to Face time. Many new students come to us while they are still working in other occupations, or have other fulltime commitments upon their time, and then often have considerable travel to the training event location. To help with our new students in these circumstances, some of our International Centres offer the MK Pilates Foundation Equipment Diploma in modular formats, which then achieve 8 or 9 days of Face to Face time. We also offer this Foundation Equipment Diploma once a year, as an Intensive Course over 9 days, in Greece. A Standard Equipment Diploma will achieve 15 days of Face to Face time. The education content on the Studio Equipment Foundation Diploma excludes two certifications which are included within a Standard Diploma. These are Reformer and Cadillac Stage 02 – the advanced repertoire.

Once you have completed a Foundation Equipment Diploma you are able to upgrade your certificate to a Standard Equipment Diploma Qualification by completing the two missing courses.

Our Standard Equipment Diploma is our main Studio Equipment Certification and consists of our Seven Individual Equipment Certifications as detailed below. Each of the Reformer certifications consists of 4 days of education in either a modular, typically 2 x 2 days, or as a 4 day intensive event format for delivery. The Cadillac Course are 2 days each and again can be split but typically are presented in one weekend each. The three other pieces of traditional equipment included in our Diplomas are each a one day certification. This result is 15 days of Face to Face tutor led time, and along with your home study time, personal practice hours, and all Assessment processes. This programme provides you with our maximum credit of educational development hours for Pilates Studio Equipment.

Our Masters Equipment Diplomas not only offer the standard Equipment Diploma content but also our five Functional Anatomy one day courses, as well as three Matwork small equipment one day courses and two special populations days. The details of these are available below by clicking on the button. If you have already completed these as part of your Matwork Diploma Programme they are of course automatically credited to your Studio Equipment Masters Diploma.

We feel that all instructors should be able to manage many different clients with different and challenging physical needs and it is through the additional courses we bring more education to you that address these needs.

It may take several years to achieve this level of qualification as many students who start with us on a Foundation or Standard Equipment Diploma continue with the education and reach Masters Level in their own timeframe.

A Master Equipment Diploma is not scheduled as one series of dates. It can be achieved in pieces and elements such as small equipment or anatomy can be attended even before a Standard Equipment Diploma is completed. Please have a look at our DIARY, consult with your Training Centre or through our website for further education or guidance with your training Pathway choices.
