📈 BUILD A THRIVING CAREER
Starting your new career in fitness IS DAUNTING
If you don’t have the right education, qualifications and support…
❌ You struggle to gain credibility, build a reputation and attract clients
❌ You worry about wasting time and money on courses that are all useless theory
❌ You worry about if you’ll be successful after qualifying
❌ You’re lacking the confidence you need to feel ready to make the switch
❌ You’re confused by all the courses available and unsure which is right for you
❌ You stay stuck in an unfulfilling job, unable to break into a fulfilling fitness career
All this leads to frustration, self-doubt and feeling stuck.
And, what’s worse, when you do transition into Personal Training, over 80% of new coaches don’t make it past the first 12 months.
WHY DO SO MANY PERSONAL TRAINERS fail?
BECAUSE MOST FITNESS EDUCATION IS DESIGNED ONLY TO tick A BOX
Based on government mandated minimum basic requirements for qualification these cheap, cookie-cutter courses are like building a house on sand.
Generic, outdated and uninspiring they provide a shaky foundation that crumbles once you qualify into the real world. They fail to teach the reality of what it takes to truly thrive and build a lasting career in fitness.
We don’t want that for you.
YOU, your future career AND CLIENTS DESERVE BETTER.

GOT QUESTIONS? We’ve got answers
I know the course is online, but what kind of support will I have during the course?
While the PFCA L3 PT course is fully online, you will have extensive support throughout the duration of the course to ensure you succeed. Here’s what you can expect:
- Community App Access: You will be part of a dedicated community app where you can ask questions, participate in discussions, and engage with fellow students. This app fosters a collaborative learning environment, allowing you to connect with peers for support and motivation.
- Course Tutor Access: You will have direct access to experienced course tutors who can provide guidance, answer questions, and offer support with your online coursework. They are available to help you navigate any challenges and ensure you understand the material.
- Live Sessions: Mandatory Monday evening sessions are held to facilitate live interaction and learning. These sessions provide an opportunity to engage directly with tutors and classmates, enhancing your understanding of the course material.
- Structured Deadlines: The course includes set deadlines to help you stay on track. You will have a clear timeline for completing assignments and assessments, with a total of 12 weeks from the course start date to meet these deadlines.
This combination of resources ensures that even though the course is online, you are never alone in your learning journey.
Does the PFCA CPT course really include BOTH Level 2 & Level 3 qualifications?
Yes, the PFCA L3 PT course includes both Level 2 and Level 3 qualifications, providing a comprehensive pathway for you to become a fully insurable, personal trainer with an internationally recognised qualification.
Are there any prerequisites for enrolling in the Certified Personal Trainer Course?
You need to be over 16 years old and have a good grasp of English. No other qualifications are required.
This all sounds great, but how long will it take me?
The course is delivered over a 10-week period, with Zoom lectures every Monday evening from 18:30-21:30 (UK Time) for 10 consecutive weeks.
Each live session combines learning, practical assessements and interaction. (No “death-by-powerpoint” here!)
To get the most from the live calls, you’ll watch engaging pre-recorded lectures beforehand, allowing the sessions to focus on practical application as you learn new concepts.
Depending on your rate of learning, we recommend to allow roughly 4-5 hours of study per week in addition to the Monday evening live sessions. That’s as little as 40-minutes per day.
Are there any in-person practical teaching or assessments?
We’ve refined an innovative and convenient Hybrid Learning model, which allows you to qualify without the inconvenience or hassle of having to schedule assessment days.
