Yes! Upon successful completion of the Certificate IV in Group Pilates & Fitness Instruction, you’ll receive a nationally accredited qualification. Being accredited means our course is recognised by the Australian Government through ASQA (Australian Skills Quality Authority). This ensures your certification is industry-recognised, meets strict quality standards, and allows you to gain professional insurance and employment as a Pilates and group fitness instructor.
In order to gain your nationally recognised qualification, you must complete a logbook of practical hours. This ensures you have real, hands-on teaching experience before becoming an instructor.
The logbook requires:
80 hours of observations of classes
40 hours conducting classes
40 hours of personal development
This structured experience builds your confidence and ensures you’re fully prepared to step into the industry as a qualified instructor.
No prior experience is required! Whether you’re brand new to fitness or already working in the industry, this course is designed to guide you step by step. You’ll learn everything from Pilates foundations through to advanced group class instruction, with plenty of practical and theory support along the way.
