A career as a Personal Trainer can be massively rewarding

Becoming a personal trainer requires a lot more than just being fit. There are many aspects you will need to learn in order to become successful in your career as a Personal Trainer. 

Taking on a course to become a Personal Trainer means you will be learning about everything from physiology and health nutrition through to legal requirements and how to run a successful Personal Training business.

This is where our Level 3 Diploma in Personal Training comes in.

The goal of our Level 3 Diploma in Personal Training is to further enhance the existing skills of people that have a passion for other peoples’ fitness training, health and wellbeing. 

Do you have an existing understanding and experience in fitness or gym instruction and aspire to become a fully certified Personal Trainer?

Our Level 3 Diploma in Personal Training course is run over an 8-week period, during which our students will cover:

  • Aspects of someone’s lifestyle and the medical considerations that will affect their wellbeing
  • The importance and skills for effective communication during client consultations in order to nurture and promote healthy lifestyle behaviours and strategies for change
  • The skillsets you need to prepare and conduct the physical activity sessions. This includes the different fitness and health levels of clients carried out in a selection of environments with a range of resources
  • The knowledge and understanding of the various legal and professional requirements for personal training
  • The factors our learners will need on how to set up and manage a personal training business on a self-employed basis 
  • The skills needed for them to manage, appraise, and develop their own performance
