Joseph Pilates created the original Pilates revolutionary method around 1918, at the start of World War I. Now after nearly a century of progression, the Pilates method is stronger than ever and continues to give amazing results for people of all ages and body types. When entering into the Pilates industry and looking to choose the most suitable qualification for you, it can be helpful to understand the industry itself and where Pilates instructor training courses sit within this network.

Professional educators are absolutely essential to ensure training is delivered to exceed industry standard.The course materials for both qualifications has been developed by Sally Anderson who is world renowned as a Pilates head of industry as the director of Pilates International and the president of Pilates Alliance Australasia. Both the Certificate IV and Diploma courses have been through a vigorous audit process through governing bodies such as the Training Accreditation Council (TAC) in Western Australia.
