Career guides
Plain-English guides to becoming and working as a personal trainer, with every fact sourced and the review date shown.
How we write and check our guides
- Written and reviewed by the PT Academy Careers Team.
- Every figure links to its source, official ones first: government, the regulator, the professional bodies and national statistics.
- Each guide shows the date it was last reviewed, and we review them at least every six months.
- Qualifications link to their entry on the Ofqual register, so you can check what we say.
- Where the data does not cover something, such as self-employed earnings, we say so.
