Overview
Education and knowledge accumulation with Polestar does not end with the qualification examination. The Polestar approach to education enables and requires graduates to continue accumulating knowledge and skills in the Pilates and movement related fields. This continued study and updating will also enable Graduates to qualify for requalification.
Requalification
Polestar Pilates Education continues to improve and develop its curriculum and qualification process. Like most high-quality qualification programs, re-qualification is an essential part of maintaining skills and quality of care. In order to remain in good standing with Polestar Education after completion of the examination process students must accrue 80 Continuing Education Units (CEUs). These should be completed within a five year period commencing from the date of issue of the certification/qualification. Please contact Polestar Asia at info@polestarpilatesasia.com to obtain more information as well as a requalification form.
