What is required to maintain your NCPT credential?

To maintain the National Certified Pilates Teacher (NCPT) credential, it is necessary to complete 16 continuing education units (CEUs) every two years. This requirement ensures that certified instructors remain updated with the latest research, techniques, and trends in the field of Pilates, thereby enhancing their teaching skills and knowledge base. CEUs can be obtained through various educational activities, such as workshops, seminars, or courses related to Pilates and related health and fitness topics.

Staying current in CPR training, while valuable for safety and emergency preparedness, is not a specific requirement for maintaining the NCPT credential. Additionally, the requirement for specific workshops or taking a second Pilates training program may vary among different certifications and is not universally required for NCPT credential renewal. This structured approach to continuing education helps maintain high standards in teaching quality and ensures that instructors provide effective and safe guidance to their clients.
