Practitioner's Apprenticeship (SPA)

A full-year comprehensive teacher training program rooted in classical Pilates. All major apparatus, 500+ hours of practice, study, and apprentice teaching. Graduates are eligible to sit for the NCPT exam. A new cohort begins each August.

Entrance requirement: The SPA requires an Entrance Application and passing a Demonstration Benchmark (Reformer I-III and Mat II). Completing the Pre-Apprenticeship is the best way to prepare, but it does not waive the benchmark.
