Instructors progressing from ICCB
If you have already completed Intensive Cadillac, Chair & Barrels and want to go beyond Level 1 repertoire, this is the natural next step.
Teachers working with stronger clients
This route is especially relevant for instructors who increasingly work with athletic, highly conditioned, or more advanced-moving clients.
Professionals who want broader apparatus depth
ACCB suits teachers who do not just want harder exercises, but stronger progression logic and better teaching control across Cadillac, Chair, and Barrels.
What makes this course different
ACCB is not simply a harder version of ICCB. It plays a distinct role in the STOTT PILATES® pathway because it asks for more precision, more strength, more coordination, and more teaching maturity across three separate equipment categories.
It expands advanced equipment repertoire
The route deepens your ability to teach Cadillac, Stability Chair, and Barrels with more demanding exercises, more specific apparatus choices, and more advanced progressions.
It sharpens apparatus-specific thinking
Teaching advanced equipment clients well is not just about intensity. It requires clear sequencing, precise setup choices, and stronger awareness of what the body can actually control on each apparatus.
It prepares you for higher-demand equipment teaching
This route helps instructors work with stronger movers without becoming sloppy, over-cued, or distracted by complexity for its own sake.

Official course information
For the latest official STOTT PILATES® Advanced Cadillac, Chair & Barrels scope, expected hours, Level 2 details, continuing education credits, and current framework, refer directly to the official Merrithew Advanced Program page.
We deliberately do not try to replicate every official course detail here line-for-line. Merrithew should remain the source of truth for exact course mechanics. Pilatique’s role is to help you understand how the route fits into the local pathway, whether it suits you, and how to approach it well in Singapore.
Advanced Cadillac (ACAD)
Focuses on 28 advanced Cadillac exercises plus modifications, using the Trapeze, Fuzzy Straps, Push-Thru Bar, and Roll-Down Bar for higher-level progressions.
Advanced Stability Chair (ACHR)
Focuses on 14 advanced Stability Chair exercises plus modifications, with stronger unilateral and bilateral stability challenges, balance work, and core activation demands.

Focuses on 14 advanced Barrel exercises using the Ladder Barrel, Spine Corrector, and Arc Barrel for spinal mobility, flexibility, strength, and postural alignment work.
Prerequisites and readiness
At Pilatique, prerequisites are taken seriously because they protect learning quality. Advanced work only helps if the Level 1 equipment foundation underneath it is already strong enough.
- Level 1 foundation matters. This route is designed for instructors who have already completed ICCB or CCCB.
- Control matters more than enthusiasm. Students should already be comfortable with equipment setup, sequencing logic, and the discipline required for precise apparatus teaching.
- Movement quality still matters. Advanced repertoire is only useful when the body and the teaching mind are ready for it.

Why train at Pilatique for ACCB
The course title alone does not determine the learning experience. Where you complete the training matters. Pilatique has operated as a STOTT PILATES® Licensed Training Centre since 2008 and now runs one of the region’s more active education schedules across Singapore and Malaysia.
Structured progression
Students do not enter Level 2 casually. Progression is approached with more seriousness so advanced work actually sharpens skill rather than muddling it.
Mentorship beyond class hours
Observation, review, and exam-related readiness are supported within the broader learning environment rather than treated as a separate problem for the student to solve alone.
Real pathway perspective
ACCB is taught not as flashy repertoire, but as a progression in judgement, discipline, and real teaching capability across equipment.
