How We Are Going to Help You Pass This Course
“As hands-on coaches ourselves, we want to make sure that our personal trainer course is also suitable for practical people - who want a hands-on experience which will actually equip them to do the job by the end of the course – not just learn weeks of online theory which doesn’t seem to bear any relationship to real life - and what many educational providers offer. What’s more, through face-to-face personal teaching, our industry-experienced tutors give you full support from start to finish.”
How Does the Course Run?
This is a personal training course with a total of 40 hours of face-to-face practical workshops, over ten weeks. So, you will actually be working with a tutor. You’ll be able to ask questions and interact with the other members of your group. In addition, there is course work to be completed in between sessions. All your learning resources are provided through our specially created student hub.
And as it is a part-time course, normally taught once a week, you can study around your other work or family commitments.
Nationally Recognised

A Worthwhile Career
A career as a personal trainer may be something you have considered but thought it was out of your reach – or maybe you have thought of escaping from the rat-race of nine-to-five working and setting up a business of your own.
Becoming a personal trainer is something that qualifies you for a very worthwhile career. It is different from a “gym instructor” where you are merely on hand, often in a busy gym, to do little more than clean treadmills and show people how to use machines. Personal training couldn’t be more different. You have a client who you see on a weekly or more basis and you quite literally change their lives. You see them grow in confidence as their fitness improves and many personal trainer’s we know say that it actually doesn’t feel like work.
With the huge changes that are happening in our society at the moment, with the increasing stress that many people are experiencing in their everyday lives, achieving a good level of fitness is becoming more and more desirable. From being a minority interest only a few years ago, today the demand has increased massively.
So, if ever there was a time to re-train and do something different, it is now.
