- Analyze and understand the Pilates exercises, based on anatomical and biomechanical principles
- Demonstrate at a high level the vast repertoire of classic Pilates exercises, as well as a wide range of original BASI® exercises
- Use the full line of major Pilates apparatus
- Modify exercises according to the needs and goals of the individual
- Work with specific populations and be equipped to embark on BASI® Advanced Education courses
Course Details
The Comprehensive Teachers Training Course is taught by members of the BASI® Pilates faculty in Host studios around the world. Courses are ongoing in multiple locations throughout the year. The module portion of the course is generally held over a six month period and requires approximately 500 hours of study, practice, observation and apprentice teaching.
Due to sickness and other important reasons, a student may catch up on course modules missed, at any course location in Germany, Austria, Switzerland or Scandinavia, depending on availability.
All courses, no matter where they are held in our licence area, not only uphold the educational standards of BASI® Pilates, but also in some instances exceed these to comply with the requirements of the Pilates associations in the various licence areas, an important factor in deciding where you are going to start your Pilates education.
Course Contents & Requirements
Twelve modules, including lectures, exercise analysis and practice, and discussion.
– At the beginning of the course, CTTC students receive the current BASI® ® Study Guide and five movement analysis Work Books, covering Mat, Reformer, Auxiliary, Cadillac and Wunda Chair, a unique six volume text of detailed descriptions of the BASI® Pilates System (over 500 pages total)
Required after each module. Many host locations organize workshops (or informal study sessions) with the course instructor or assistant instructor to review and discuss material.
Practical Work consists of individual practice completed by the student. This can include, but is not limited to, private, semi-private and group sessions, as well as mat classes. This work should include practice on all apparatus and mat exercises included in the BASI® CTTC. Please check with the BASI® host or affiliate studio as many instructors offer discounted sessions to current BASI® students. In addition most host locations offer “open studio time,” during which students can practice on their own or in groups.
Up to 100 hours at the host location or a studio approved by BASI® Pilates Germany/Austria/Switzerland. These are the recommended number of hours; they may be adjusted based upon the past experience of the student.
Guidelines for observation and apprentice teaching my differ slightly depending on the course location.
Up to 200 hours at the host location or a studio approved by BASI® Pilates Germany/Austria/Switzerland. These are the recommended number of hours; they may be adjusted based upon the past experience of the student.
Guidelines for observation and apprentice teaching my differ slightly depending on the course location.
Your BASI® Pilates certificate will be issued when all BASI® requirements have been met.

The process of becoming a skilled teacher is very individual and BASI® recommends everyone to study in their own pace. The goal is to develop the ultimate performance of each individual, independant of how long it takes. Students are allowed to repeat each section of the exam until they meet the requirements of the BASI® standard.
