Structured 20-week course

This version of the course requires you to complete 10-15 hours a week of home study to help qualify within 20 weeks. Following a course structure will keep you motivated, learning effectively and on target to ensure you end up fully competent as a personal trainer. This really is the best version of our course if you can prioritise your learning, attend regular meetings and are passionate about being the best you can be.

Hybrid course

The hybrid course option gives you the flexibility to work through the course quicker or slower dependant on your current commitments. Maybe you can commit more than 10-15 hours a week and want to qualify quicker than the 20-weeks it takes learners following the structured route? Or maybe you can't commit to 10-15 hours, so need longer to work through your studies? With the hybrid course, as long as you complete within 12 months then you are all good.
