FAQs
Helping You Understand Virtura Better
If you have any questions regarding our Pilates qualifications you can reach out to us via email: rachel@choreographytogo.com
Can I take a Level 3 Pilates qualification if I’ve never taught Pilates before?
Yes — if you’re already a qualified fitness professional (Level 2 ETM or Gym Instructor), you can enrol in either the Mat or Reformer course. Level 2 Pilates is no longer required, as Level 3 is now the standard entry point for Pilates instruction.
Do I need to attend any in-person training?
No — this is a fully online qualification. All modules, assessments, and tutor support are delivered digitally, so you can study from anywhere, at your own pace.
I already hold the Level 3 Exercise and Fitness Knowledge (EFK) qualification — do I need to retake it?
If you’ve passed your Level 3 EFK within the last 2 years, you won’t need to take it again. However, this does not reduce the overall course fee.
Are these official, recognised Pilates qualifications?
Yes — both our Mat and Reformer courses are certified YMCA or Active IQ Awards and endorsed by CIMSPA. You’ll qualify as a Level 3 Pilates Instructor and gain CPD points upon completion.
Will I be qualified to teach Pilates after completing the course?
Yes — once qualified, you’ll be able to teach Pilates classes relevant to your chosen course: Mat or Reformer. You can work in studios, gyms, or offer your own online and in-person sessions.
Can I pay in instalments or use a payment plan?
Yes — you can split the cost using Klarna at checkout. This allows you to pay in instalments while starting the course straight away. If your employer is covering the fee, we can also issue an invoice directly to them.
What course materials are included?
You’ll receive a PDF course manual and access to high-quality, on-demand video tutorials. These cover practical technique, anatomy, teaching skills, and equipment usage (for Reformer).
What topics are covered in the courses?
Both courses include anatomy, posture, teaching principles, movement screening, and practical sequences. The Mat course focuses on classical and contemporary matwork, while the Reformer course includes machine setup, safety, and progressive programming.
