STOTT PILATES® Courses in Singapore
This page lists the STOTT PILATES® course routes you can take in Singapore through Pilatique (Licensed Training Centre), plus the prerequisites, required hours, and exam pathway — in one place.
Most people don’t fail certification because they’re “not talented”. They fail because they choose the wrong starting route, underestimate required hours, or don’t structure exam readiness. If you share your background + timeline, we’ll recommend the simplest correct pathway and send the latest course dates + pricing.

About “STOTT PILATES Academy” (Brand Transition)
You may start seeing the global education branding transition toward “STOTT PILATES Academy” for consistency. For Singapore searchers, we keep terminology clear:
- Primary term (what people search): STOTT PILATES®
- Transition term (framework name): STOTT PILATES Academy
- Brand owner: MERRITHEW™
In plain English: the standards and pathways remain the same — the naming is evolving. We use both terms in a controlled way so you get clarity without confusion.
Course Routes (Choose Your Starting Track)
You don’t need to “do everything at once”. Start with the route that matches your goal and background — then build depth systematically.
Route 1 — Mat Foundation (strongest fundamentals)
Best for building principles, cueing, exercise breakdown and teaching structure — especially if you’re new to Pilates education or you want a clean start.
- Ideal for: career switchers, Pilates enthusiasts committed to teaching
- Outcome: a foundation you can confidently build equipment work on
Route 2 — Reformer Track (studio-ready employability)
Builds apparatus confidence, set-ups, progressions and programming logic — what studios often hire for.
- Ideal for: fitness professionals, serious career switchers, instructors expanding into equipment
- Outcome: stronger teaching confidence on Reformer + better studio readiness
Route 3 — Comprehensive (Mat + full studio apparatus)
Best if you’re serious about teaching long-term and want broad capability across studio apparatus work.
- Ideal for: long-term instructors, rehab-adjacent interest, studio career pathway
- Outcome: Mat + Reformer + Cadillac/Chair/Barrels logic and range
Modules (Flyer-Style Overview)
Below is a clean “what it is + what you get” view. Exact schedules and pricing are shared via WhatsApp so you always receive the latest.
IMP — Intensive Mat-Plus
The Mat foundation where principles, teaching method, and programming discipline are built. You learn how to teach with clarity — not just “perform the exercises”.
- Focus: principles, exercise breakdown, cueing, modifications, programming structure
- Best for: foundation route; also valuable even if you plan to teach mainly on equipment
IR — Intensive Reformer
Reformer education emphasizing set-up logic, progressions, and programming across client needs.
- Focus: repertoire + apparatus set-ups + progressions + teaching application
- Best for: studio employability and equipment teaching confidence
ICCB — Intensive Cadillac, Chair & Barrels
Studio apparatus depth: Cadillac, Stability Chair, and Barrels expand programming possibilities and refine teaching logic.
- Focus: set-up proficiency, progressions, teaching application across apparatus
- Best for: comprehensive route and long-term teaching range
ISP — Injuries & Special Populations
Builds the lens for adapting repertoire responsibly across common limitations and special populations — moving beyond “one-size-fits-all” programming.
Advanced Modules (Level 2)
For instructors who want deeper repertoire, more complex progressions, and long-term growth. This is where serious teaching range compounds over time.
Prerequisites (What to Do Before You Register)
Prerequisites exist to protect your learning outcomes. If you skip them, the course becomes overwhelming and exam readiness becomes messy.
- 30+ hours Pilates experience with a STOTT PILATES® Certified Instructor
- Anatomy component (pathway depends on background)
- Postural analysis / movement assessment preparation where required
- Readiness plan for observation + practice teaching + physical review hours
For the full policy wording and edge cases, refer to the Teacher Training FAQ.
Required Hours (How Real Skill Is Built)
The required hours are not “admin”. This is where your teaching becomes stable: observation sharpens your eye, physical review builds embodiment, practice teaching builds cueing clarity and correction skill.
- Observation: watch qualified teaching to learn what “good cueing + progression” actually looks like
- Physical review: practise the repertoire in your own body to teach with accuracy
- Practice teaching: teach, correct, and refine your communication — this is where instructors are made
If you want the detailed definitions and policy rules, the Teacher Training FAQ is the single source of truth.
Exams (Written + Practical)
Exams are designed to validate teaching competence, not “memory”. Most people who do well have a structured review plan and consistent practice teaching.
What’s tested?
- Written: anatomy terminology, movement analysis, principles, programming logic, repertoire understanding
- Practical: teaching clarity, set-up logic, cueing, corrections, modifications, flow and safety decisions
When do I take the exam?
There is an eligibility window after completing your last required course component. Exact rules are listed in the Teacher Training FAQ.
Policies (One Source of Truth)

Missed hours, make-ups, deposits, cancellation rules, exam policies, reinstatement rules — all live there.
