Level 2 & 3 Combined Diploma in gym instructing and personal training
No, you do not need to be a so called “gym bunny”. We do recommend that you have some exercise experience, however our courses will provide you with all the knowledge you need to become a top-class fitness professional.
This depends on how much work you want to put in, you complete the work at your own pace, so it is entirely up to you. Our assessing team are ready and waiting to mark your work and get you started in the industry. As a guide the fastest we’ve seen the course completed is 2 weeks for level 2 and 3 weeks for level 3, however the average duration is around 5 months total.
Yes, we are partnered with most of the leading gym brands in the country & we have an in house recruiter who will help find you a suitable role once qualified.
There are a number of different assessments to do through the course. Worksheets require you to download a file from the learning platform, work your way through them following the instructions and video guides and upload them using our uploader.
Multiple choice exams are done on our online exam portal. You’ll be asked to notify us that you’re ready to do your exam and you’ll be sent separate logins for the portal.
For the practical assessments there are 2 consultations and several practical coaching assessments. You’ll need to find someone as your “dummy” client that you carry out the consultation with, then use the information from that consultation to plan and deliver the follow up practical sessions. These will need to be filmed at your gym or an appropriate facility with the relevant equipment. Then you’ll upload the video files to our platform and a tutor will provide detailed video feedback within 48 hours.
There are a mixture of pre-recorded and live webinars. For the topics with pre-recorded webinars we host periodic live Q&A sessions so you can fire any questions at our tutors.
For the live webinars you’ll be given dates when you signup for the upcoming webinars. You’ll be expected to attend both of the Level 2 live webinars and 3 out of 5 of the Level 3 live webinars.
These webinars are designed to cover the key topics you need for the assessments but also to go into more detail on how to apply what you’re learning in the course to real life situations with clients.
You’ll be going through case studies and real life examples and given the opportunity to ask whatever you need from our tutor team. Your fellow learners will be on the webinars too so you’ll be able to bounce ideas around and get a deeper understanding of the course material.
Our courses are accredited by Active IQ and endorsed by CIMSPA meaning your qualifications will be recognised wherever you go, even internationally.
Our courses have been designed to guide you every step of the way, with quizzes to test your knowledge and extra revision guides to cement what you've learned.
We have a huge bank of revision materials available, plus in-person and video workshops are available to give you extra help if needed.
Our advanced digital learning platform gives you option to learn from the comfort of your own home or on the go.
