International Pilates College Certification Convention
The IPCertification Practical Exams are Pilates specific and tend to be an educational experience
International
Pilates Certification sets the highest standards in the Pilates industry - with
experiential understanding, critical evaluation analysis
and practical applications; IPCertification
was established in 1989, the first Pilates orginization to be a memeber of ACSM
and NOCA (National Organization of Credibility Assurance - now
know as NCCA).
ACSM
& IPC require fitness trainers to perform a Fitness Test, design a workout
program based on that Fitness Test and safely teach the program.
PMA certifications set the lowest standards -
with one written test; taking a written test may indicate your memorization
ability, testing skills or retention of information but does not demonstrate
your ability to safely impart that knowledge to a Pilates client.
