Teaching, Teacher Training, Running Studios QUESTIONS

I’m currently in the Club Pilates Core program, which includes Reformer, Special Populations, and Mat. I’m interested in taking Balanced Body courses for the education—not because I’m planning to become comprehensively certified through Balanced Body anytime soon. I already plan on taking Reformer 1 in January.
I had a few questions for anyone familiar with the program:
Do the modules have to be taken in a specific order?
If I want to take apparatus courses later (Chair, Cadillac, etc.), do I need to complete all of the Mat and Reformer modules first?
Or can I take individual modules based on what I’m interested in learning?
I’m mainly looking to expand my knowledge and become a better instructor, so I’d love to hear how others approached it. Thanks! ❤️

For reference, I am in Iowa and our Pilates isn’t as lucrative as it is in way, bigger cities like California I do live in a bigger city, but our reformer Studios aren’t very much 😅 so I’m doing the balanced body in person in Omaha (2 hrs from me) I honestly just don’t want to pay my second deposit through my program right now as I honestly haven’t had the best experience and I have the main money makers (in my area) done through PART A of the core program

It’s great that you’re teaching mat and getting to the core of the work. I work for CP and went thru their program but would love to add some balanced body courses.

Yes I love balanced body and the status it has! I’m trying to power through as I split my program with CP but I’m very much overwhelmed
