Support Materials

The Handbook displays versions of the movements with note sections for your completion during and after the education.  The Workbook provides master pages to be used to record your personal programme and to self-assess your recorded session.  It is recommended you familiarise yourself with this material prior to attendance wherever possible.
• Video content is provided for this education covering all the repertoire as presented in your written materials with simple audio guidance.  It is recommended you familiarise yourself with this material prior to attendance wherever possible.

Assessment

• Completion of a Workbook documenting and outlining your session content. These will include details of your own postural imbalances if. This should be followed up with your observations, adaptations or alterations and future personal development plan.
• The final practical assessment may vary centre to centre but the standard practice is to submit a video of the teacher’s personal session from beginning to end. No sound is required. The session is to demonstrate personal practice understanding of all elements of the equipment and the ability to understand the teacher’s own body and its needs and habits. The timeframe of the personal self-practice workout is 30 - 60 minutes.
• Written self-evaluation of your video submission along with any changes you may make based upon the observation of the video content.
• The suggested period for the completion of the first case study is no later than 3 months from completion of the course. You have one year to successfully complete the assessment processes after which MK Pilates reserve the right to request repeat attendance of elements of the course and may apply charges for this and any re-assessments after the one year period is over.
• If a Michael King Pilates multiple choice theory paper has not been completed you may be asked to complete this at another agreed time to achieve your certification. As every situation is individual your Training Centre or Tutor will be able to discuss this with you but MK Pilates Administration will make the final decision as to whether the paper is required.  This element covers general Anatomy and Physiology areas to a Health and Fitness entry level standard of knowledge.

NOTE: the elements of assessment can be worked on consecutively with the assessment processes for any other MK Pilates courses. This is a teaching skills and knowledge based assessment.
