Spotlight FAQ: How do I complete my CECs?

You can complete your CECs through any combination of the following:

A

Attend a STOTT PILATES workshop or presentation at a trade show, Licensed Training Center, Hosting site, or at the STOTT PILATES International Certification Center.*

B

Complete a customized repertoire review with a STOTT PILATES Instructor Trainer.*

C

Complete a teaching evaluation with a STOTT PILATES Instructor Trainer.*

D

Take an anatomy, biomechanics, exercise physiology or other exercise science course or workshop. If this is a non-STOTT PILATES course it must be petitioned. A maximum of 0.2 CECs can be earned this way. The petition fee is US $10 | $13 CDN. Only one petition can be submitted per year.

E

Study a STOTT PILATES video and submit for evaluation a VHS video (NTSC or PAL) of yourself teaching a selection of the subject matter to a client. DVDs are accepted but must be recorded on a brand name DVD (e.g. SONY). All DVDs must be MacIntosh compatible. A 15-minute segment should be submitted per video (e.g. watch three videos, submit a 45-minute long video to earn 0.3 CECs).

The evaluation fee is US $10 | $13 CDN per 15 minute submission. A petition form must accompany your video submission along with the petition fee.
