There are no additional or hidden fees. It's our job to ensure you have the best learning journey and graduate with 10/10 knowledge and confidence.

How long do I have access to my resources for?

You get instant and lifetime access to all your study resources.

Not only that... you get all the future updates as well. Meaning you get the latest knowledge to return back to and keep your confidence topped up.

Am I too old?

You might think becoming a personal trainer is for the youngsters.

However, the average age of our learners is 42- 48.

On every course, they'll be a mix of ages.

They'll be a couple of younger ones in their late 20s and early 30s. Plus a few in their 50s and 60s.

Health and fitness is inclusive. Now more than ever we see people of all ages want to kick-start in fitness.
