Q: Why choose this course?

Our aim in teaching you on this course is to prepare you to be as ready, prepared and confident to take your place in the fitness industry as a personal trainer, as it is possible to be. This could be working as an employee with another organisation, as a self-employed practitioner setting up on your own or even as part of our team. To do this, we have a number of added-value extras that most other companies are unable to provide. You will be trained by a company at the heart of the fitness industry. We are always looking for talented newly-qualified personal trainers to join our team. We prefer to offer jobs to our former students before advertising more widely. As part of the course you can gain some invaluable real-life experience.

Q: What happens if I can't attend one of the dates listed?

Almost always, someone will have to miss one of the dates through no fault of their own and the course has been designed to accommodate this. Because the course has competency-based assessments rather than set examinations, this allows for flexibility.

Q: How many hours of extra work will I have to study away from the course?

To a certain extent this depends of course on the experience and previous knowledge of the student but we estimate a minimum of four hours a week To give an example, one student on one of our courses, a lorry-driver who had absolutely no previous educational qualifications or experience, was able to complete the course quite satisfactorily by doing an hour a night's study.
