Taking you right through from gym instructor to a fully qualified personal trainer, this course ensures you enter the fitness industry as an awesome trainer and coach. You will learn how to design exercise programmes from basic to advanced, plan and tailor nutrition for your clients and understand how the human body works and moves.

This course covers theory and practical. One minute you will find yourself covering advanced anatomy and physiology and being amazed at how fascinating the human body really is. Then, the next minute you will be in the gym learning new exercises and the ideal technique. You will be covering advanced training systems from strength training to cardiovascular endurance and flexibility. An amazing course with a great social experience throughout as all your fellow students are like minded, fitness enthusiasts just like you!

Description

For ALL of our courses, we ONLY teach small groups of between 6-10 students. This means you will ALWAYS receive the support you need from your tutor.

For the part-time course, you will enjoy a blended mix of home study and face to face, classroom learning at set weekends. Over the course of the 17 weeks you will attend 9 practical training weekends with one of our awesome tutors, spread apart strategically at level 2 and then again at level 3. This is to make it easier for you to plan around your other commitments. Whilst studying at home, you can always be assured you will never be alone because you will have access to your tutor on a 1-2-1 basis whenever you need it! And we set you up in your own personal study group using instant messaging platforms so you and your fellow students can always communicate with each other! And guess what, your tutor will be on there too!

For the full-time course, you will attend 4 days a week for eight weeks and boom! You’re qualified! Again, throughout this course you have access to your tutor and you will be in a small group of between 6-10 students.

What will you be doing on your course?

You will be studying lots about the human body, how it works and how best to train it for health and fitness. You will also cover lots about nutrition and how to give professional advice and guidance. In addition to your theory sessions, you will also enjoy lots of practical sessions whereby you practice all the exercises and advanced training systems you need to learn until you perfect them! You will cover advanced programming for all sorts of training from strength to endurance, speed, power, coordination and much more.

Over the course of your studies, you will sit four theory exams (two for gym instructor and two for personal trainer) that are multiple choice, but still challenging! And you will also undertake two case studies whereby you actually train a client for real and guide them with their nutrition. Finally, you will showcase your expert knowledge in front of an assessor when you deliver one of your personal training sessions to your client. When you have passed all of this, you can call yourself a Personal Trainer! But not just any trainer, one that has graduated from our academy, meaning you really are the best around.

What will I do when I graduate?

We can get you an interview at a gym or studio local to you or you can work with us! If we have trained you, we want to keep you!

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
