Frequently Asked Questions

What is the pre-requisite for matwork level 3?2026-06-01T13:38:31+01:00

You will need at least one to two years practice of taking this program.

What is the pre requisite for our teachers programs?2026-06-01T13:39:19+01:00

The important point is that the Matwork modules were never ultimately intended to operate as a standalone first Pilates qualification in isolation. Because of the way the UK Pilates education and insurance landscape works, the structure we have developed is instead based around either:

  1. A first full Reformer qualification, with Matwork used as the foundation and supporting CPD learning around that qualification; or
  2. A Comprehensive qualification, where Reformer forms the initial regulated qualification and the Matwork, Tower, Chair and Barrels content sits around this as part of the broader Comprehensive pathway.

So in practical terms, this means that prospective pilates teachers who do not already hold a Level 3 Mat qualification, provided the end point is the standalone Reformer, full Mat & Reformer qualification or Comprehensive qualification pathway rather than a standalone Mat certificate.
