For Mat teaching, begin with Mat 1 + Movement Foundations; for Reformer, begin with Reformer 1. If your goal is to teach across the full apparatus, the Comprehensive pathway can be planned from the outset.

Yes. Entry modules build from core principles. You should, however, be ready to maintain personal practice, observe classes and complete the study requirements assigned throughout the program.

Your anatomy and movement background is valuable, while the Code Pilates repertoire, teaching method and assessments must still be completed. The Education Director reviews your records and recommends the appropriate pathway.

This entry module includes 24 hours of structured education. It combines Movement Foundations with introductory Mat repertoire, safe progressions, teaching cues and class organisation.

Mat 2 and Mat 3 advance the repertoire and develop adaptation, sequencing, observation, cueing and independent lesson-planning skills for different client needs.

Reformer 1 introduces safe teaching of the fundamental repertoire. Local regulations, employer standards and insurance requirements must also be checked; completing the full Reformer pathway provides broader competence.

Each module builds on the knowledge and practical skills of the previous level. Required practice, observation and assessment steps must be completed before progressing.

The Comprehensive pathway combines Mat, Reformer, Trapeze Table/Cadillac and Tower, Chair, Barrels, functional anatomy, self-practice, observation, practice teaching and comprehensive assessment.

The pass mark is 70. The examination has both a written and a practical part.

Applicants must be at least 18 years old and hold a high-school diploma or equivalent.

The Mat path is shorter and limited to the mat repertoire. Comprehensive training also covers the Reformer, Cadillac, Chair, Barrel and small apparatus, and it is usually the path studios and private clients look for. It is also the path that leads to the comprehensive certificate and, after that, to an NCPT application. If you expect to work on all apparatus eventually, planning the comprehensive path from the start is usually more economical.

Each training is published with its country, currency and registration method. The fee may be displayed or marked “contact for pricing”; registration is final after payment or educator confirmation.

Yes. Your certificates, training hours and previous curriculum are reviewed individually. A personalised bridge plan identifies any modules and assessments still required.

Make-up arrangements depend on the module structure and educator calendar. Required hours and practical work must be completed for certification, so absences should be reported as early as possible.

You must complete the relevant module hours, observation, self-practice, practice teaching, assignments, payments and required assessments. Exact requirements are provided in writing for your pathway.

The certificate documents your completed pathway and hours. Work rights, insurance, employer and professional requirements differ by country and must be checked for your intended location.

No. There is no examination at the end of individual modules. Each completed module is recognised with a certificate of participation.

All modules must be completed, followed by a written and practical final examination. Candidates who pass receive the Comprehensive Teacher Certificate.

A certificate of participation for every completed module, and the Comprehensive Teacher Certificate once all modules are complete and the final examination is passed.

There is no single global licence in Pilates. “International” usually refers to one of four different things: an independent accredited certification exam (NPCP/NCPT), a national professional register (such as REPs UAE or EREPS), the school’s own certificate, or the fact that a school teaches in several countries. The Code Pilates certificate documents the training path and hours you completed and lets you meet the hour requirement for the independent NPCP exam. The right to work is assessed separately in each country.

Code Pilates is a private education organisation and what it issues is a private professional certificate. It is not registered with Türkiye’s e-Devlet system and has no official status in Türkiye; there, the official authority for instructor licensing is the Turkish Gymnastics Federation and the official licence is obtained through that channel. Because our certificate is built on an international education framework, it can nevertheless support your accreditation process in some countries.

The right to teach depends on each country’s own legislation. Because our certificate is built on an international education framework, some federations and professional registers do grant accreditation on the basis of it, while other countries additionally require a national qualification. We therefore recommend researching the current rules of the country where you plan to work before you enrol.

It means Code Pilates is listed in the NPCP School Directory as a verified program offering Mat and Comprehensive education. Verification is not school accreditation or automatic NPCP certification.

No. A Code Pilates certificate documents completion of your education pathway. NCPT is a separate professional credential requiring current NPCP eligibility, an independent application and successful examination.

Workshops approved by NPCP may award the number of CECs stated in the announcement. Each workshop card identifies its CEC status and credit amount; approval scope and validity should be checked.

520 hours in total — above the 450-hour minimum NPCP sets for comprehensive teacher training.

NCPT is an independent certification title in Pilates; it is awarded by the NPCP’s own exam, not by a school. The path at Code Pilates is straightforward: you complete all apparatus trainings, receive your comprehensive certificate, and can then apply for the NCPT exam. The application and exam process is handled directly with the NPCP.

All training materials are digital. Your manual, PDFs and video resources open in a secure digital area on the first day of your training. No printed manual is shipped. Resources are personal and may not be copied, distributed or shared without permission.

Once payment is confirmed the training is added to your account; the 30-day period starts when you activate your account and sign in for the first time. When it ends the video closes; you can rent the same training again.

Only in your own Code Online Studio account, on the My Trainings page at online.codepilates.com. No video link or shared password is sent.

All mastery workshops are taught in Turkish. The site interface is available in Turkish, English, Italian, French and Arabic.

7 days after access starts it is issued with the Education Director’s approval and sent to your registered e-mail. It is a Code Pilates Academy Participation Certificate, not an NCPT/NPCP certificate.

The rental starts with payment confirmation; once access to the digital content is opened, no cancellation or refund is possible.

No. Content is streamed only through your account; downloading, recording and sharing with third parties are not permitted.

All of MAT 1-2-3, Reformer 1-2-3, Trapeze Table, Chair and Barrels workshops in a single 30-day rental.

It is a fit if you want to clarify your professional direction, choose a specialisation, or move past a period of stagnation — it is open to every experience level. It is not a training programme: there is no predefined curriculum, the work is on your own goals and a personal professional roadmap. Each session is planned as a single, independent session of 40–60 minutes and is conducted one-to-one by Barış Özdemir. Strategic guidance and insight are provided; specific outcomes such as income growth, career advancement or certification are not guaranteed, and implementation remains yours.

Movement Foundations establishes functional anatomy, biomechanics, movement observation, posture and safe-teaching principles. It creates the shared professional language used across Mat, Reformer and Comprehensive education.

All three formats may be used depending on the program. Practical apparatus modules may require in-person work and assessment; the exact format is stated in each training announcement.

Each announcement clearly states the language, country, city, time zone and attendance format. Online schedules are published in the educator’s stated local time zone.
