Build your career with Pilates ITC and add the Professional Reformer + Small Apparatus Instruction Pathway to your toolkit! This Pathway draws recognised units of competency from the nationally accredited and internationally recognised Diploma of Professional Pilates Instruction (10838NAT) equipping Graduates with a Statement of Attainment.
It is one of the original, Pilates apparatus consisting of a narrow bed, with sliding carriage, straps and pulleys that are adjusted in resistance by adding or removing loaded springs.
Just like Matwork, all exercises on the Reformer are scalable and welcome creativity in variation and programming, making this a truly versatile apparatus in a group class setting – and a very popular one at that!
Learn how to use the patented Pilates International Categorisation© (PIC) Studio Programming System to plan and safely deliver creative, corrective and rewarding Reformer classes of all levels for groups fitness – featuring small apparatus like: the blue ball (Pilates Ball), Magic Circle, TheraBand and more!
It’s so much more than teaching aerobics on a machine: our Graduates are comprehensively trained in the Method of Pilates and skilled at applying it safely and to maximum effect, in a class setting.
Our Graduates are capable, skilled communicators; critical- and creative-thinkers who understand how to make the Method work for clients. They fill classes and retain clients!
This Pathway complements the Matwork + Small Apps Instruction Pathway, and is often a springboard from which Students go on to complete the full Diploma qualification via the Studio Instruction Pathway add-on.
Learn how to apply the Reformer Pilates repertoire for Introductory, Basic, Progressive and Intermediate levels in group Reformer setting. That’s 56 exercises in total PLUS small apparatus repertoire:
The professional edge – our Students learn how to use the Pilates International Categorisation© (PIC) programming system.
The PIC system equips our Students with the skills to develop and deliver smart, creative and body-balanced workouts that clients love, for:

Self-mastery: learning the Pilates Method in your own body by doing classes, is compulsory part of your course and attracts additional cost as determined by our Instructor Training- and Work Placement Studios. (Our affiliates generously offer PITC Students discounted rates on SM – however is set at their discretion.)
Meeting self-scheduled teaching hours can be one of the more challenging logistical aspects of Work Placement (finding bodies and time and space to suit all of the above!)
Teaching Clinics (optional) were developed to lighten this load by giving Students more opportunities to workshop their teaching skills in an Educator-supported environment, and bank WP hours in the process.
• Practice on a large group (simulate real-world group class!)
• Work through the aspects of repertoire that are challenging for you.
• Workshop ideas with your peers and Educators.
• Get feedback.
• Feel confident in your teaching skills!
Better still, each Teaching Clinic hour equals two hours of approved teaching experience.
1 hour = 2 hours of teaching experience.
Teaching Clinics run for five (5) hours in total and are delivered in clinic format against set topics (units of competency), so you can complete 10 hours of WP in one session!
TCs can be added to your schedule any time for only $75 per session: booked at point of enrolment or later at your convenience.
