Certificate in Personal Training
The certificate in Personal Training is designed to equip a fitness instructor with the skills and knowledge to personal train within a gym environment, covering the mandatory units required by REPs to achieve Level 3 Personal Trainer status. The certificate is completed primarily as distance learning supported by work-books and a fully interactive CD Rom. Attendance is required on a four-day practical advanced gym programming workshop.
If you would like to work as a freelance personal trainer you should complete the Diploma in Personal Training which is a more in-depth course that will equip you with the skills and knowledge to work within and also outside of the gym environment.
