A list of STOTT PILATES LTCs is enclosed in this package. If you are unable to complete the written portion of your exam at an LTC, you have the option of taking the exam by proctor. The conditions of a proctored exam include the following:
|
|
A third, unbiased party (notary or public library) must oversee / supervise
the written exam.
|
|
|
The written exam must be taken within the 6-month period after the last STOTT PILATES course was completed.
|
|
|
Exam fees (practical and written) must be paid in full prior to sending the written exam to the specified proctor.
|
Use of a public library is standard protocol for most STOTT PILATES course examinations as these locations proctor a variety of examinations for various organizations.

Video Exam Procedure
The purpose of the practical examination is to observe you as you lead a group through a workout. The subjects should be other STOTT PILATES students or clients with experience in the same level and repertoire covered by the exam. The videotaped workout will be 1 hour in length for either Group SPX exam.
Technical Considerations:
|
|
Position the camera to observe the group and allow for an additional 3 feet on either end ensuring enough room to move about. Keep the view close enough to allow details in the movement and the interaction between you and the group.
|
|
|
Test the video equipment and sound level and make sure that it records properly and that your voice can be heard on the tape.
|
|
|
Face the camera (instruct on the far side of the group to not obstruct the view).
|
|
|
The tape should NOT be stopped at any point during the examination. The workout should be continuous.
|
|
|
Video must be sent in either VHS NTSC or PAL format, compact VHS, DVD, mini DVD or CD. We do NOT accept any other format for practical examination submissions. DVDs must be Macintosh compatible.
|
Conducting the Exam:
Please read, ‘What will I be asked to do for my practical exam?’ for more detail.
Follow the timelines and minimum requirements outlined.
|
|
State your name and the name of your exam as you start recording.
|
|
|
The group participants must be familiar with the required repertoire associated with your exam.
