If you are unable to complete the written portion of your exam at a Licensed Training Center you have the option of writing the exam by Proctor.
The conditions of a proctored exam include the following: A third, uninterested party (notary or public library) must oversee / supervise the written exam.
Exam must be taken within the 6-month period after the last certification 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 Certification course examinations as these locations proctor a variety of examinations for various organizations.
Proctored Exam Procedure
Contact the STOTT PILATES Education Department at 1-800-910-0001 ext. 261 or email education@stottpilates.com to express your intent to write an exam.

Pre-addressed return envelope
Student Responsibilities:

by the Proctor and Student)

Video Exam Procedure
The purpose of the practical examination is to observe you as you lead a "subject" through a workout. The subject should be another STOTT PILATES student who has taken the course covering the same level and repertoire covered in the exam. The videotaped workout will be 1 hour for the Matwork exam, 1-1/2 hours for the Matwork & Reformer exam, and 2 hours for the Matwork, Reformer, Cadillac, Chair & Barrels exam.
Technical Considerations:
Position the camera to observe a side view of the subject's body (the entire length), allowing for an additional 3 feet on either end to ensure enough room to move about. Be sure to keep the view close enough so that details in the subject's movement and the interaction between you and your subject can be seen.
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 (instructing on the far side of the subject to avoid obstructing the view).
Camera adjustments should be performed at natural breaks in the examination process (i.e. between the postural analysis and mat workout or between the mat workout and reformer workout).
The tape should NOT be stopped at any other point during the practical component of the examination. Your subject's workout should be continuous.
Video must be sent in either VHS NTSC, compact VHS, DVD, mini DVD, CD or VHS PAL formats.
We do NOT accept any other format for practical examination submission.
Conducting the Exam:
Please read, What is involved in the practical exam? Section for more detail. Follow the timelines and minimum requirements outlined.
You should state your name and the name of your test subject (the test subject must be familiar with the required repertoire associated with your exam).
