Course Structure

Here you'll find a number of online learning programmes that you have lifetime access to, including:

You'll also get a physcial Active IQ course manual sent through the post. Once this arrives you'll have an orientation call with Hayley. This call will guide your homestudies and set out a personal learning plan just for you.

We'll also discuss how we'll hold you accountable each week to do your studies. For some learners this is via a call, for others it's via text or email. Either way, we're here to ensure you have the best PT journey out there.

Most learners have at least 4-6 weeks of home study prior to the first weekend attendance in our Milton Keynes Academy.

During this time you'll prepare for your Anatomy and Nutrition exams. We estimate that 2 to 4 hours of homestudy per week is a ideal.

The practial workshops are not a test of your own fitness or what you can do. Rather it's a time to practice coaching and learn how to be an outstanding personal trainer.
