FAQS
When can I start my course?
Straight away! As soon as you receive your login details you can start learning. Flexibility is really important to us as we want our learners to be able to study at their own pace. That means no need to waiting for others - you are in control of your own progress!
Will I get support throughout my course?
Of course! We are on hand every step of the way to support you throughout your learning journey. We have a team of experts, tutors, and customer service advisors on hand to help you out.
Do I need any previous experience or qualifications?
Nope! You learn everything you need to know while on the course.
How long will the course take to complete?
Completely up to you! The courses are online and self-paced, this means you can study as much or as little as you want. We will not set you any deadlines!
You can use the number of guided learning hours for each course to estimate how long it will take you, depending on how much study time you can dedicate each week!
If you study part-time, then we estimate each course will take the follow time to complete (half the time if you are studying full-time):
- L2 Gym Instructing – 3-4 months part-time
- L3 Personal Training – 6-8 months part-time
- L4 Advanced Sports Nutrition – 4-6 months part-time
Can I take the course if I’m not based in the UK?
Yes! Although our courses are accredited by a UK awarding body, you can study them from anywhere in the world. We already have many international students currently studying with us.
If you plan to work as a Personal Trainer or Gym Instructor in a non-UK country, then you will need to check the governing body requirements in your own region. In most countries, a UK level 3 accredited qualification is recognised by the local governing body and you will just need to apply to have you qualification transferred over.
As every country has it’s own requirements, we cannot give specific advice for each country. However, we know it is relatively easy to transfer your qualification to work in countries such as the US, Europe, Australia, Canada and South Africa.

This depends on the course you choose to study:
• Level 2 Gym Instructing: Multiple choice assessment, written assessments,
video submissions, programme cards and reflection documents.
• Level 3 Personal Training: Multiple choice assessment, written
assessments, video submissions, programme cards and reflection documents.
• Level 4 Nutrition: Written assessments and reflection documents.
Do I need access to a gym for the assessments?
For some of our video assessments on the L2 Gym Instructing and L3 Personal Training course you will be required to demonstrate appropriate use of gym equipment. For these assessments, you will need to have access to a local gym, or a home gym with the correct equipment. None of our assessments require in-person attendance however.

The Level 3 Personal Training qualification offer the optional add-on of live classes. These are an amazing opportunity to get insight and knowledge from experts in the industry. Currently, the live classes are every Thursday at 6:30pm, they are interactive and give you the “classroom” feel from the comfort of your own home. If you are returning to learning after a break, they can be really beneficial, being able to ask questions will help you develop a deeper understanding of the topic areas. If you miss a class, don’t worry! We record and upload all the live classes so you won’t miss a thing.
What can I expect from the in-person training days?
Where to start with this one, we are so excited to meet everyone! These sessions will be fun and leave you feeling motivated, inspired and FULL of knowledge.
