Petitioning

Certificants that attend non-approved workshops may petition to have those hours approved, as long as the workshop has to fall within the Scope of Practice of a Pilates professional.

To petition, Certificants must submit a complete Petition Application, along with the Certificate of Completion, Workshop Description, and Instructor's CV/Resume, and pay the $25.00 non-refundable fee per certificate presented.

To verify that the workshop is eligible for petitioning before submission, please contact the Continuing Education Department.

** Distance learning (prerecorded video, reading material, podcast, or self-study) workshops cannot be petitioned for.
