BASI PILATES EDUCATION

As long as the modules are taken in order, we are happy to accommodate someone who begins in one BASI Host location and needs to transfer to another location. (Additional fees may apply; license territories are excluded).

We prefer that the modules are taken in order, however, it is acceptable to miss 1 – 2 modules and continue with the program. You are encouraged to make up these modules at another host location (additional fees may apply) or the next scheduled program at your host location. Please notify BASI Headquarters or your license territory representive as soon as you know you are unable to attend certain modules. Students have one year from the original module date to make up missed modules. Students must attend all modules in their program before they qualify to take the Final Practical Exam and Final Teaching Evaluation and receive their graduate certificate.

If you begin the program and become pregnant or injured and you can no longer continue, BASI will place your training on hold for up to one year. Please contact BASI Headquarters or your license territory representative as soon as you know you are unable to continue with the program. BASI reserves the right to request a doctor’s release prior to your return. Tuition fees will be held up to one year and will be applied to the program and location of your choice upon your return.

In most BASI Host locations, the modules are spread out over 2-6 months, depending on the program and program schedule. On average it takes students approximately one year from the last module of their program to complete all the students hours and pass their examinations. If students do not complete or pass their requirements within 3 years of their program, BASI may require students to repeat modules.

If you miss the written exam day, you may make it up during another module/program at another location. Arrangements can be made for a proctored exam time at the host studio. Final practical exams and teaching evaluations are scheduled and paid for in advance. If you miss the day of the exams, you will lose your exam fee and will need to schedule another time to take the exams.

Written exams that are taken online may be retaken immediately until they are passed. Written exams taken with pen and paper may be retaken at a later date. If you do not pass your final practical exam, teaching evaluation, or both, you may retake these exams at a later date (additional fees will apply). Note that if you pass one portion of your final exams, but not the other, you will only need to retake the portion you did not pass. We encourage everyone to retest when you feel 100% confident with your knowledge and work. Contact BASI Headquarters to schedule your retest.

Upon completion of your program, you will receive a BASI Pilates Teaching Certificate. This certificate qualifies you to teach Pilates at a high level in most Pilates studios worldwide. This certificate never expires and does not require CECs to maintain. In addition, you can proudly call yourself a BASI Graduate and be part of an international family of passionate Pilates professionals.
