MENTORING

Becoming a qualified Pilates teacher is one of the biggest investments financially, mentally and physically that you will undertake in your Pilates career. Our Studio welcomes students completing Pilates training through all Australian Government RTO courses recognised by the Pilates Association Australia.

Why do we only work with RTO course students?  As the Pilates industry is not regulated, there are many Pilates teacher training courses available. Whilst it may be tempting to gain a certification over a weekend and at less financial investment, in the end you will not come away with a Nationally Recognised Certification or the skills that are required to work with clients in a safe and knowledge based setting. We suggest consulting with the Pilates Association Australia for a list of current Government RTO Pilates Teacher Training courses and affiliated courses.

Why do we value mentoring student teachers? When completing my Pilates teacher training the struggle to find a mentor that was local to me in the regions was real. Becoming a qualified mentor with Polestar education was a chance to give other regional students access to support, whilst completing industry recognised Pilates certifications. Our Studio is so very proud to be able to facilitate student teacher learning with guidance in a knowledgeable, fully equipped and safe space.
