Course Overview

Our Online Level 3 Diploma in Gym Instructing and Personal Training course includes everything you need to become an industry recognised Personal Trainer.

But to take this a step further, we will also give you the tools and resources needed to help you become a successful Personal Trainer who has everything needed to feel supported throughout your career.

Your online learning platform

As soon as you enrol onto this course, you will be given access to your online learning platform. This allows you to start your learning journey straight away from home, and it is fully supported by your own dedicated support tutor who will guide you every step of the way.

Upon enrolment, our tutor will book in a call with you – to give you an overview of your learning platform, to set some targets for you and to answer any initial questions.

Your online learning platform hosts all of the necessary theory units for your Level 3 Diploma in Gym Instructing and Personal Training course – including Nutrition, Anatomy & Physiology, Programming, Instructing Advanced Training Methods, Business set up, and much more… It even contains a fully stacked Exercise & Coaching Library.

This online platform will be a point of reference for you throughout your career – which is often when you will need to reference these lessons the most. You will receive lifelong access to this information.

What happens once you are qualified?

As you are working through your studies, your course support tutor will encourage you to prepare for your career as a personal trainer by starting to build the foundations of your fitness business. This is not a requirement, but for those who do this they often complete their qualification with a business platform and paying clients ready to go.

Once you are fully qualified we will work with you to ensure your fitness business as a Personal Trainer is up and running and that you are actively marketing yourself correctly to start growing your client base.

We understand fully that a lot of your questions will come after you are qualified, whether you need business advice or help with training your clients. That is why we are always at hand to help and offer guidance as you look to develop and grow your business – the support does not stop after you are qualified.

Assessments

It is important when enrolling on to a course that you have a clear timeline to completion and an understanding of what you need to do to pass.

As soon as you enrol, your course support tutor will arrange an Assessment Plan call with you so that they can talk you through each unit of the course and how they are assessed. This will essentially be your timeline to completion and will set you some motivation with your studies and targets to aim for.

Online assessments

Once you complete a unit online, it can be assessed immediately, allowing you to do the assessment whilst the knowledge is fresh and to save you hanging around for an exam. Our online end-of-unit assessments can all be done from the comfort of your own home when you are ready to do so. Your support tutor will be at hand to help with any revision and to get everything organised for you.

Client case study

To showcase the knowledge you have learnt from this course, as well as allowing you to show us how you will want to be acknowledged as a Personal Trainer, you will build up a body of work by working with a case study personal training client.

The work you perform with your case study client will be the same that you will be doing for all of your future ‘paying’ personal training clients – Consultation, baseline measure tests, programme design, personal training session delivery and analysing of their nutritional habits.

Your course support tutor will be at hand to help with this every step of the way, this stage of your learning reflects who you are as an individual and it builds up your experience, knowledge and confidence in training a client.
