What are the Renewal Requirements?
Your Power Pilates Assessment-Based Certificate (ABC) expires every two years. To maintain and renew your ABC, you are required to complete a certain number of Power Pilates Continuing Education Courses before the ABC expires. You can complete your CEC's at Power Pilates Conferences and through our online offerings. Your true education begins once you complete a Power Pilates Teacher Training. As a Pilates instructor, you must continue to learn and refine your teaching skills to inspire yourself and others. Renew by the number of credits of your highest level:
6 CECs - Core Mat I, II or III
6 CECs - Complete Mat
10 CECs - Reformer I, II or III
10 CECs - Tower I or II
12 CECs - System I or II
15 CECs - Comprehensive, Bridge, or System III
How Do I Earn the Required Credits?
You can earn your required credits through workshops at Power Pilates conferences (find a workshop in the
upcoming conferences section or online at
www.leadersinfitness.com/powerpilates. Our online workshops are offered via the Leaders in Fitness platform and include a streaming video (which you can watch as many times as you would like by logging in to your online account, a PDF handout, an exam, and a certificate of completion to download upon completing the exam. When choosing videos on Leaders in Fitness, always check the number of Power Pilates CECs offered by choosing "VIEW CEUs". If no Power Pilates CECs are listed, no credits are available for that course.
Auditing
In addition, Power Pilates teachers can audit any Core Mat I, Core Mat II or Comprehensive program they have passed previously for CE credit. Auditing a program enables teachers to participate in the program without being evaluated or being required to do all the assignments. Teachers may also choose to audit
Core Mat 1,
Core Mat 2 and
Core Mat 3 through the online
Mat Academy and take advantage of up-to-date education materials, animations, quizzes and virtual coaching sessions. Auditors do not receive a final pass/fail designation.
Audit Core Mat I for 6 CECs
Audit Core Mat II for 6 CECs
Audit Core Mat III for 6 CECs
Comprehensive/Systems - 6 CECs per weekend up to max of 15
The cost is $300 for US programs per weekend a la carte or $1050 for all weekends in a System I, II, III or Comprehensive program. Email info@powerpilates.com for the code to register after finding an upcoming training at

Can I Use Non-Power Pilates Credits?
We will consider non-Power Pilates coursework for a limited portion of your renewal credits to allow you to take advantage of unique opportunities that enhance your teaching. Courses must fall into one of four categories to be considered: Pilates, CPR/AED, Anatomy, and/or Art of Teaching.
To petition for course approval for non-Power Pilates coursework, submit this
form. Power Pilates will inform you if your coursework is approved within 2 weeks of submission. All decisions are final so please submit all relevant information with your petition.
Non-Power Pilates courses are approved at a maximum of .5 CEC per credit hour (when approved - not all are). To maintain the quality of our instructors worldwide, no more than 1/3 of your CEC's in a given renewal period may come from non-Power Pilates trainings. The remainder of your credits must come from Power Pilates coursework.
How Do I Submit for Renewal?
All renewals are processed on our website
here. The online form will guide you through all the information we need to process your renewal. If you are applying approved non-Power Pilates credits, you will need to submit the
long form application. Non-Power Pilates credits will not show in your Power Pilates dashboard.
