"I got my Level 3 diploma last year and I remember the course with pleasure thanks to my tutor Josh, he's a great person always available with the students, during the course we had few workshops where Josh gave us useful tips to be able to pass the practical exam, I got a great support for my theory exam as well. I would definitely recommend Create PT if you want to start a new career in the fitness industry"

"Create PT were amazing. They provided me with all the support and guidance I needed to learn and succeed towards my qualifications. I enjoyed every minute learning from great, genuine people. I really would recommend Create PT!"

"This course is perfect, and I would highly recommend. The content and assistance is second to none and do not think there is a better company to start with. Josh and Adam were on hand 24/7 with their vast amount of experience and knowledge at hand. Always willing to help and provide valuable assistance."

"The course helped me not only realise my own potential but also how to approach my physical and mental training. I gained so much confidence on how to tackle my own negative view on diets and physique, that once I successfully passed I decided I wanted to help others with similar issues and backgrounds. I cannot recommend Josh and the team enough with all the help they gave me during the course. CreatePT is the course you want to trust with helping you achieve a qualification."
