Warum bei der FÔLD Academy trainieren

Im Gegensatz zu den meisten Anbietern von Reformer-Pilates-Ausbildungen ist FÔLD nicht nur ein Kurs, sondern wir haben den Reformer selbst entwickelt. Als Schöpfer des originalen faltbaren Heim-Reformers haben wir diesen Fokus auf Zugänglichkeit und modernes Design auf die Art und Weise übertragen, wie wir Ausbilder schulen.

Das bedeutet, dass Sie nicht nur isolierte Theorie lernen: Sie werden auf dem Gerät geschult, das die Art und Weise, wie Reformer-Pilates gelehrt wird, neu gestaltet, und zwar von erfahrenen Ausbildern, die täglich unterrichten und sowohl die klassischen Prinzipien als auch die Anforderungen eines modernen Studiokurses verstehen. Während andere Reformer-Pilates-Ausbildungszertifizierungen sich ausschließlich auf das Abhaken eines Lehrplans konzentrieren, ist unser Kurs auf echte Beschäftigungsfähigkeit, geschichtetes Unterrichten für Gruppen mit unterschiedlichen Fähigkeiten, Beobachtungs- und Coaching-Fähigkeiten und einen direkten Zugang zur eigenen Gemeinschaft von Studios und Partnern von FÔLD ausgerichtet.

Location

Most of your learning takes place online, with modules completed in your own time.

Your practical training is delivered through in-person workshops at FÔLD partner studios and training venues across the UK.

This blended approach allows you to train flexibly while gaining the hands-on experience required to step into a professional teaching environment.
