• what qualification do i receive after passing this course?

    You’ll earn a Certificate of Completion for either Mat, Reformer, or both (if you do the Double Certification). Our certifications are nationally recognised by AUSActive (Australia) and Pilates Aotearoa NZ, and are respected globally, meaning you’ll be well-positioned to teach in studios, gyms, or independently.

  • What makes Train Me Education different from other Pilates certifications?

    Our curriculum was crafted by industry professionals and active trainers. No fluff, just meaningful content.

    Rather than rigid, textbook-based programming, we emphasise real-world class design, cueing, and modifications.

    We provide ongoing mentorship through in-person educators and a supportive online community.

    We don’t just certify, we train you to teach confidently, with tools you’ll actually use in the studio.

  • Who is eligible to enrol?

    Anyone. Whether you're a fitness enthusiast, a professional in another field, or a Pilates lover wanting to teach. No prior teaching or instructor qualifications are required.

  • Is this course online or in-person?

    It’s a blended format: we run face-to-face workshop days plus offer online modules, quizzes, and virtual assignments. If you miss a workshop, we work with you to reschedule (or run a make-up session, depending on availability).

  • How long does the course take?

    There's no fixed finish line, and that's on purpose. Most students complete their certification anywhere from 8 weeks onwards.

    Your timeline comes down to a few things: how much time you can dedicate, how many rounds of submission feedback you work through, and how long you take to complete your apprentice hours. This isn't a weekend course.

    It's a supported pathway, and we stay with you until you reach the Studio Floor Ready Standard of TME. You're never rushed, and you're never left behind.

  • What are the “apprentice hours”?

    Apprentice hours are your hands-on practice: time self-practicing Pilates, observing qualified teachers, and refining your own teaching with practice teaching friends and family. These are designed to help you apply what you learn rather than just read about it.

  • Why do i have to do apprentice hours?

    Because this is where the real learning happens.

    You can read all the theory, but skill only develops through practice. Apprentice Hours give you the chance to apply what you’ve learned, make mistakes, refine your technique, and build true confidence.

    Many instructors say it ended up being their favourite part of the course, the moment everything clicked and they realised how essential that hands-on experience really was.

  • Do I need my own Pilates equipment?

    Mat Certification: Just a mat and a space to move. Some props might be optional.

    Reformer Certification: You’ll need access to a reformer for your practical training and practice hours. We suggest reaching our to local studios about rentals or looking into Reformer Rental for your home.

  • What happens if I don’t pass my assessment?

    Not a problem, this is where growth happens. If your submission needs work, you'll get clear, constructive feedback and you can resubmit. You get as many re-attempts as you like, and a TME team member will keep working with you until you reach a pass. We don't charge extra fees for this, we simply want you studio ready.

    To keep things fair for everyone, we do ask that you stay engaged and meet your deadlines. If you miss a deadline, you'll be given one grace period.

    After that, a marking fee may apply, as missed deadlines waste the time our team has set aside to mark your work. And if a team member contacts you twice with no reply, you'll be given a final 72 hour window before we take it as your withdrawal from the course.

  • What happens if I miss a face-to-face day?

    If you miss a practical day, we'll work with you to arrange a make-up session so you don't fall behind. Full details, including availability and any associated costs, are provided upon request, just reach out to our team.

  • What are the payment options and refund policy?

    We offer flexible payment plans to suit different budgets.

    Because spots are limited, and we commit resources to each intake, course fees are generally not refundable after the course start. But if something major comes up before the first day, you may be able to transfer to a future intake or switch to a virtual option, just reach out, and we’ll see what we can do.

  • Can I enrol if I live outside Australia / NZ (like in Bali)?

    Yes! We run face-to-face training in Bali for certain intakes, and we’re also expanding with the arrival of TME Digital coming soon, so you can join from anywhere.

    Join our waitlist to be the first told when those spots open.

  • what can i expect from the practical days?

    Practical Days are used to go through exercise manuals in depth with your Educators, getting real life demonstrations, chatting through all modifications and tips in watching for form in your clients. You will also get the opportunity to practice on other students, to help prepare you for your assessments.

  • Do i get personalised Feedback?

    Absolutely - This is why your submissions are so important.

    It’s about more than just ‘recording a video’. This is where your educator designates time per student to watch you teach a full class, from start to finish.

    Here you will be handed personalised feedback on what works, what needs improvement and tips to keep in mind moving forward.

  • How Many Attempts Do I Get?

    As many as you need. A TME team member will work with you to get you studio ready for as long as it takes. We don't charge extra fees to keep learning or to resubmit, and we're never here to money grab. We work with you for as long as you want to learn. The one thing we can't do is chase ghosts. If a team member contacts you twice with no reply, you'll be given a final 72 hour window. If that also goes unanswered, we take it as your official notice of withdrawing from the course.

Train Me Education is sad to announce that one of its founders, Kira-Leigh Rule, has decided to step away from its business and will no longer be affiliated or involved in its future operations. All future communications in relation to TME should be directed to Anthea Counsel as of November 2025.
