Re-Qualification

Polestar Pilates Education continues to improve and develop its curriculum and certification process. Like most high-quality certification programs, re-qualification is an essential part of maintaining skills and quality of care. Polestar’s certifications are valid for five years from the date of certification, after which time re-qualification is required.

The following outlines the requirements for re-qualification:

Rehab and Studio Practitioners requirements:

  • Teach Pilates or use Pilates as treatment 10-15 hours per week (min. 2600 hours over 5-year period).
  • Complete 80 hours of continuing education from an approved provider over a 5-year period.
  • Practice Pilates at least 2 hour per week.

Mat and Reformer Practitioners requirements:

  • Teach 2-3 classes per week (min. 520 hours over a 5-year period).
  • Complete 80 hours of continuing education from an approved provider over a 5-year period.
  • Practice Pilates at least 2 hour per week.

All Polestar courses, workshops, conferences and continuing education count towards re-qualification. Of the 80 required continuing education credit hours, at least 70% of the credits must come from Polestar. The remaining 30% of the credits earned from approved providers can count toward re‐qualification (max 24 Credits) and of those 24 Credits a maximum of 8 Credits can come from Approved Non‐Pilates providers. Courses/workshops conducted by approved providers (other than Polestar) will be awarded 50% of each contact hour, e.g. a 16‐hour course earns 8 Credits.

Below is a listing of some of the approved providers we accept. Courses provided by practitioners not listed may be eligible with approval. Please contact Polestar Pilates UK for more information.
