Required Hours for Certification
The Mixed Method’s “Full” Program includes a +505/hour Comprehensive Pilates Certification. Successful certification of the Full TMM Program allows certified TMM Instructors to apply to sit for the National Pilates Certification Program exam.
Below is the breakdown of the required hours needed to complete, test, and pass all portions of the TMM Full Exam.
Hours required outside of class time must be recorded and completed before gaining approval to sit for the TMM exam. These log sheets will be turned in prior to exam date. Any missed class hours must be replaced with private training sessions with a TMM Master Instructor and charged their separate training rate.
