Petitioning

Certificants who have taken non-NPCP approved workshops may petition to have hours considered toward their renewal.

Steps to petition:

1. Check eligibility – The workshop must fall within the Scope of Practice of a Pilates professional. If it is Pilates content it must be taught by an NCPT/ PMC.
2. Submit renewal payment – Your renewal application payment must be completed before your petition.
3. Prepare your documents – Each petition requires:
   • Completed Petition Application
   • Certificate of Completion
   • Workshop Description
   • Instructor’s CV/Resume
   • $25 non-refundable fee (per certificate)
4. Submit your petition – Upload all documents with clear file names (no spaces or symbols).

Distance Learning (Pre-recorded video, DVD, or home-study courses) are not eligible for petitioning!

Appeals Process

Certificants whose petitions are denied may appeal. Candidates who wish to appeal may do so within 10 days of notice of a denied application. Appeals are processed within 30 days. The decision of the Certification Manager is final, and all fees related to petitioning are non-refundable.

Candidates desiring to appeal the results of a petition denial must comply with the following:

• An appeal must be emailed to [email protected] and received within 10 calendar days of the denial.
• The candidate is responsible for demonstrating that the appeal should be considered by providing all details supporting their request for the reversal of the adverse decision.
