Purpose

At Pilates ITC, we want you to feel confident that you're learning from the best. This policy explains how we ensure your educators are highly qualified, industry-current, and committed to continuous professional development. We take professional growth seriously, so the team guiding your learning is equipped with the skills, knowledge, and experience you deserve. This commitment supports our compliance with the Standards for RTOs 2025 and ASQA guidelines.


Definitions

  • Professional Development (PD) – Learning activities that help educators expand their knowledge and keep their teaching skills sharp and up to date

  • Skills Matrix – An internal tool used to track educator qualifications, training, and the areas they’re working on developing

  • Validation Activities – Internal review sessions where assessment tools and methods are checked to make sure they're fair, clear, and aligned to industry standards


Who This Policy Applies To

  • All educators and staff at Pilates ITC who are involved in teaching and assessing

  • The leadership and management team that supports educator learning and development


What This Means for You

You can feel assured that:

  • Your educators hold the required qualifications, vocational experience, and training credentials to deliver accredited courses

  • They complete regular professional development to stay up to date with the latest in Pilates, education techniques, and industry compliance

  • Your learning environment is supported by a team that shares ideas, solves problems collaboratively, and improves based on feedback—including yours


How Our Team Stays Current

Here’s how we support our educators' growth, so they can keep providing you with exceptional training:

Knowledge Sharing

We have a knowledge sharing culture along with our Management Team who provide access to industry news, relevant publications, and community learning opportunities—so the team is always in the loop.


How We Keep Track
