A letter of completion/certificate will be provided upon successful training completion.
To become comprehensively and nationally certified, participants must complete the Core Wellness Practical and Written exams, along with the NPCP Examination (nationalpilatescertificationprogram.org). Exams are optional and incur additional costs; the Comprehensive Exams are currently $300. We are a partner school for the NPCP.
