Important General Info About All Certification Exams
- At the time of scheduling an exam, payment must be provided.

- All fees cover both the practical and written exam for the relevant course.
- Exams must be taken within six months of the last course completed and there is a fee associated with each exam. The written and practical components may be taken on different days but MUST be taken within 7 days of one another.
- Exam material is cumulative so students can certify in stages by taking an exam after each course or after a series of courses, e.g. students certified in Matwork must take a combined Matwork and Reformer exam should they wish to subsequently certify in Reformer. This also applies to students certified in Reformer who wish to move on to CCB certification.
- Successful completion of Matwork; Reformer; Cadillac, Chair & Barrels; Advanced Repertoire; ISP courses and exams are required for full certification.
- If an exam needs to be retaken, it is recommended to schedule a private sessions with an instructor trainer to better help prepare for exam. The price for a private session with an instructor trainer is $120.
- Completed Observation and Practice Logs must be brought to the practical exam. Exams will not be processed unless accompanied by these logs.
- The time allotted for the workout portion of the exam will not allow for the completion of all exercises in the full repertoire. You must ensure that the exercises chosen represent a well-rounded workout that address all aspects of movement (i.e. flexion, extension, rotation, etc.) and cover the required number of Essential, Intermediate or Advanced exercises, while being appropriate to your subject.
