Coursequestions
What's the difference between a course and a bundle?
A course is a single qualification, such as Level 3 Personal Training. A bundle packs Level 2 and Level 3 together with a 1-to-1 mentor, and the bigger bundles add GP Referral, Level 4 specialisms and CPDs, at a lower price per course than buying them one at a time.
Which course should I start with?
If you're starting from scratch, take a bundle, because every bundle includes Level 2 and Level 3 together. If you already hold a Level 2 gym instructing qualification, take the Level 3 Certificate in Personal Training. If you're already a PT, add a Level 4 specialism.
Are your courses Ofqual regulated?
Yes. Our qualifications are Ofqual-regulated and awarded through Focus Awards. Our Level 2 and Level 3 qualifications are endorsed against CIMSPA's professional standards, and our qualifications give access to the Register of Exercise Professionals at the matching level.
How much do your personal trainer courses cost?
The Level 3 Certificate in Personal Training is £699 (£499 Online with Support). Our Gold Bundle, which includes Level 2 and Level 3 with a 1-to-1 mentor, is £999. Bigger bundles add Level 4s and CPDs, from £1,199. A £99 deposit secures your place and plans are 0% interest.
Do I need a gym to be assessed?
Your practical assessment takes place in a gym with the equipment you'll use as a trainer: one-to-one with your mentor, at an assessment day, or recorded in a gym and sent to your assessor.
