No prior teaching experience is required.
However:

• Completion of the Anatomy and Pilates Principles module is required before beginning the Mat or Reformer training.
• A Mat and/or Reformer certification is required to join the Advanced or Pre & Postnatal workshops.

Yes! In the world of Pilates, certifications are as unique as the schools that grant them. Upon successful completion, you will be awarded the official égoïste Academy certificate. 

To earn your certification, participants must complete all in-person training days, the required self-study hours, and community courses. The final step is teaching a test class in the presence of a training coach. Successful completion of this practical assessment is required to receive your certificate and join our community of qualified instructors.

You have a 14-day right of withdrawal from the date of your contract conclusion. Please note that after this legal withdrawal period has expired, your registration is final and the tuition fee is non-refundable. This policy ensures we can maintain small group sizes and guarantee a spot for every committed participant.

Participation in the égoïste Academy does not guarantee employment at égoïste Studio, though opportunities may become available and are always a possibility.
