ITTAP Accreditation

International Teacher Training Accreditation Program (ITTAP)

The International Teacher Training Accreditation Program (ITTAP) is a globally recognized accreditation system established by the Pilates Method Alliance (PMA), the world's leading non-profit organization dedicated to advancing and safeguarding the Pilates profession.

ITTAP ensures that accredited teacher training programs meet rigorous global standards in curriculum design, instructional hours, assessment methods, faculty qualifications, ethics, and continuing professional development.

We are honored to be one of the original 13 founding schools globally involved in the early development of ITTAP. As a founding school, we have contributed directly to the establishment of educational benchmarks that continue to influence Pilates teacher training worldwide.

ITTAP accreditation provides true international recognition. Graduates benefit from global credibility, professional mobility, and alignment with best practices recognized across continents.
