APPI Equipment Certification Exam

The 60-minute theory exam will consist of multiple-choice and short answer questions and is to be completed online.  You will log into your learner profile to complete the theory component. You will have access to the theory exam once you have completed your practical exam.

The practical exam will involve teaching an equipment Pilates session to a friend/family member who acts as your "patient".  The session you teach will be based on a set case study that you receive on the exam day.  You have 15 minutes to plan the session which you then teach your "patient".  You have 50 minutes to teach the session, and then you will be asked to demonstrate 4 movements on each piece of equipment.  These movements can be from any manual so you need to be able to recall each exercise from each level of training. Sessions can be arranged face to face in some cities or live stream via zoom. 

You have 12 months from completing the final level of the Equipment Certification to sit your practical exam.
