Pilates Studio Teaching, Observation, Performance, Reflection & Portfolio
Consolidation Module for the Studio Pilates Specialist Qualification
This advanced CPD module consolidates all prior learning from the Studio Pilates Specialist pathway — including repertoire, induction, teaching techniques, and class planning. It provides the structure and reflective practice needed to prepare for final certification.
Using the Mbodies Reflective Practice Portal, participants log their observations, teaching reflections, and personal practice. These logs form the summative assessment portfolio. Once complete, you can book your final examination, which includes:
A multiple‑choice test covering all Studio Specialist modules.
A practical assessment where you teach a pre‑planned 30‑minute session and demonstrate repertoire chosen by the examiner.
