Depending on how close to the attendance weekend you enrol, you can complete your home study either before or after the course.
Most learners choose to spend 4–6 weeks on the online learning beforehand, helping them get the most out of their practical weekend at our Milton Keynes Academy. We recommend 2–4 hours of home study per week to stay on track and build confidence as you progress.

Everyone learns at their own pace and in different ways, which is why we provide a variety of resources to suit you.
Our approach makes home study easy and enjoyable, helping you build knowledge, confidence, and practical skills without stress.
Learning with Parallel Coaching isn’t just about completing tasks, it’s about enjoying the process and boosting your progress every step of the way.
6 Days Face-To-Face
You'll join us for 6 days in our Milton Keynes Academy. This is spread across three weekends.
Each face-to-face day has 4 workshops where we'll go between the classroom and the gym.
There's very little sitting around with 80% of each day being practical based.
The practical workshops are not a test of your own fitness or what you can do.
Rather it's a time to practice coaching, practice in a safe environment to become an fitness professional.
