I need the 411 on BASI Teacher Training
Hello 👋
I'm interested in enrolling in the BASI teacher training program this Fall.
I have a lot of reservations, because I work full-time and would like to know if teacher training is right for my schedule (and pockets). My question is about the 500 hours (observation, student teaching, self practice).
Can you ELI5 the process of obtaining hours?
How is it logged? What qualifies as an observation hour, student teaching hour, self practice hour? For example, if I taught mat pilates to my cat or my imaginary friend, does that qualify as student teaching? I'm obviously JOKING here, but my point is, what are the parameters?
Do all 500-hours have to come from BASI-certified instructor or, BASI studio? Can I observe a Club Pilates instructor? Can I self practice at home using whatever props and apparatus I have?
Also, what is the cost associated while getting the 500-hour?
Thank you in advance to this community 🙏
