Being able to complete my Work Placement Hours alongside NPT Faculty Educators Sally Derbyshire & Elysha Manik at The Pilates Village, Hunters Hill, Sydney, NSW has been so valuable and the greatest learning experience on my Pilates journey to date.
I was very grateful that Sally organised for some of my work placement hours to include real paying clients of the business. To have been entrusted to do this was a real blessing.
I fully understand and appreciate that I still have a great deal to learn. Working with different bodies, personalities and amongst paying clients, completing my practical assessment with students I have never taught before has been a continued learning experience, as I know I still need to work on my confidence amongst other aspects of my teaching.
I cannot thank The Pilates Village Team enough for their continued and unwavering support.
I highly recommend National Pilates Training and the Diploma. The course reached my expectations and I am now employed at my dream pilates studio The Pilates Village surrounded by expertise where I can continue to grow and learn.
