Because our program is flexible, it’s designed for you to study at your own pace. And, if you’re more of a casual/part-time queen, you have up to 6 months of access to complete the modules when the motivation hits.
That’s cool. Actually, it’s kinda perfect because it means you can work through the program without any pre-existing habits (read: bad habits). To be certified, you will need to complete 20 hours of observation and 15 hours of self-mastery participation. In plain speak? You’ll need to experience a bunch of classes first-hand before leading them. Makes sense.

Spiritually. Educationally. The trainers are on hand (and on emails) to support you with any course or training-related questions. And it’s all about who you know, right? From introductions to teaching opportunities, Spicy will help you meet the right people to get your foot on the reformer.
The standard hourly rate for casual instructors starts at $55-$60. Where you take it is up to you, your niche and your goals.
Yes and yes. Because you’ll be leading practical classes, you’re gonna need access to a studio for practice and assessment purposes.
Dw though, we’ll help you track down a studio near you. And if you’re living in more regional or remote areas, get in touch before enrolling so we can work out the best solution for you. Spoiler: It might just involve travelling to your nearest studio. Little commute snacks, necessary.
As this is a self-paced course, your hours per week are entirely up to you! The online course will take you approximately 70-80 hours to complete in total. The observation and practical hours are in addition to this.
Definitely! Our certification courses incorporate anatomy throughout the entire program. We take a practical approach, teaching anatomy in a way that’s directly tied to the exercises you’ll be instructing. This method not only makes learning more interactive and enjoyable, but also ensures you thoroughly understand how the body’s anatomy connects with the movements, sequences, and flows you’ll be teaching. This knowledge is key to becoming a top-notch instructor.
All Spicy students need to complete 15 observation hours and 10 practical hours and have them signed off by a certified instructor.
Upon completing the course, you’ll receive your Spicy Pilates Certificate, which qualifies you to start teaching Pilates. While there isn’t an Australian or global regulatory body specifically for Pilates, this certificate is widely recognised within the industry. In most countries, you can begin teaching immediately after completing your course, as long as you also have first aid and CPR certification. These are essential for obtaining the necessary insurance to work as an instructor.
No, you don’t! Our course equips you to become a certified Pilates instructor both in Australia and internationally without the need for government accreditation. Our training is recognized by the industry, ensuring you can work and be insured as an instructor. This means you can start your teaching career with confidence, knowing that your certification is widely accepted and respected.
Short answer: yes. Longer answer: the studio you choose to work for may cover you. Upon completing the course, you’ll receive your Spicy Pilates Certificate. Once you have your first aid and CPR you will be able to obtain your insurance. Having personal liability and professional indemnity insurance is crucial as a Pilates instructor. However, If you’re employed by a studio, they may provide insurance coverage. It’s essential to ensure that this coverage is sufficient for your needs. Independent contractors must secure their own insurance.
