Through an arrangement Polestar Australia has put in place with Pilates International, Polestar Australia is able to offer our new students the opportunity to complete a formal, government recognised qualification. PilatesITC will deliver compulsory units of competency to fulfill the requirements of a professional level one Pilates instructor. These units include Occupational Health & Safety (OH&S), Hygiene and Referrals within the Health industry, Communications and Work Professionally in the Pilates Industry.
What are the requirements/inclusions of the Polestar Pilates Bridging to Certificate IV Pilates program?
The Bridging Program delivers formal training in government required competencies for working in an allied health industry. The program areas cover units of competencies drawn from the Health and Community Training Packages including:
- Communications
- Occupational Health & Safety
- Ethics & Legislation
- Other Work Professional competencies.
This Bridging Program will incorporate seven (7) units of competency over the two-day program. In comprehensive delivery these units would require nominally 110 hours.
Over the course of the two-days, participants will be taken through essential components of the required units as well as being assessed interactively over the program. Assessments will include task sheets, group discussion, questioning and practical interaction.
