Personal Trainer Courses - PTNet | The Personal Trainer Network

Start the right personal trainer course for you!

The costs, duration and package of qualifications vary depending on which Training Provider you choose, and so making the right decision can be difficult.

The truth is, you will be hard-pushed to find a personal trainer that wasn?t happy with the Training Provider they used, be it YMCA Fit, NCCA, Premier Training, Lifetime, the Training Room, Future Fit or many others, as all of these companies are trying to be the best, all provide a slightly different service, and are all fighting over control of the market. However, you will need to consider numerous other factors when choosing the right personal trainer course for you.

?

The United Kingdom

There are two main qualifications you need to work in the industry in the UK.

• Level 2 Gym/Fitness Instructor Award
• Level 3 Personal Training Diploma

?

The United States

Personal trainer certification in the United States is slightly different. When getting certified in the US you just need to be sure of the following:

• That the organization has been certified by an authorized third party.
• Whether the certification is regional or international.

?

Training Providers

There are some organizations a which are looked upon more favorably in terms of employment opportunities, in both the US, UK and Australia, and so this is something to bear in mind. You can view the Training Providers directory for details on each company and recommendations.

Furthermore, you may struggle to build your business in such a competitive market if you?ve missed out on the additional qualifications that the more expensive courses and workshops provide, such as Circuit Training, Suspension Training or Yoga.

If you?re serious about a career as a Personal Trainer then achieving the bare-minimum qualifications is probably not enough to ensure your success.
Fortunately, most of the more expensive, and ultimately more valuable personal trainer courses come with finance options in place, so that you can pay for the tuition in instalments.

Do you have what it takes?

It?s not all about qualifications; your success is also determined by the content of your character, your confidence, communication skills, passion for health and fitness; your motivational skills and your own fitness levels.
With the right attributes it doesn?t take long to establish a great reputation, a lot of recommendations, and an ever-expanding client-base.

And remember, paying for a course should be an investment in your future, as successful personal trainers make an average of ?30 / $50 per hour, and have a hugely positive effect on the happiness and well-being of many people.

Personal Trainer Course

On top of your Level 2 Gym Instructor Award and Level 3 Personal Trainer Award, (in the UK), or your US Accredited Certification; having a more specialised understanding of Nutrition, as well as being a qualified Fitness Class instructor can help you immensely.

Complete the form on the top right-hand side of this page and a Careers Advisor can talk through the various options available, and help determine exactly what is right for you.

What are the costs?

All the Training Providers have different prices, but they can range from ?2,000 to ?5,000 in the UK, and from $300 to $1800 in the USA.
This might seem like a lot of money ? and that?s because it is! But this short-term expense is your long-term gain.
If you?re passionate about health, fitness and helping others, then completing a personal trainer course is well worth the initial expense.

To make things easier, most Training Providers allow the option to pay back in instalments, and can guarantee employment opportunities, so that you know you?ll be in a position where you will be earning.

In most cases, whether you pay for your tuition in one go, or monthly, you will likely have a registration fee to pay so that your space is secure on the course. Again, this varies from one company to the next, but you?re looking at between ?150 to ?350. A Careers Advisor can give you an exact idea of what to expect following your phone consultation.

If you are accepted onto a personal trainer course be aware that spaces are limited for each date/venue, so register as soon as you can.
