Course Lessons

What you get

Level 2 + Level 3 Diploma in Personal Training

Combined as one certificate, awarded by FOCUS Awards and CIMSPA certificated. No prior qualification needed, you start from scratch.

Essentials of Getting Started

Finding work, setting up, getting your first clients. The part most providers leave you to figure out alone, included from day one.

FASTER skill courses other providers do not teach

The certificate gets you through the door. These are what make you good once you are in front of a client.

Real 1-1 support while you study

Questions answered by people who coach for a living, on WhatsApp and Zoom, when you actually need them.

Entry into the FASTER community

Trainers who have done this before you, built businesses, and stuck around to help the next ones through.

Free return access. Forever.

Your courses never expire. Students from 2007 still come back to refresh, for free. Because your career does not stop when the course does.

Qualify and get going

What this qualifies you for

Completing this route gives you the Level 2 and 3 Diploma in Personal Training, awarded by FOCUS Awards, an Ofqual-regulated awarding organisation, and CIMSPA certificated, the professional body UK gym employers use to check qualifications.

That recognition lets you work as a personal trainer in the UK: training your own clients unsupervised, in a gym, freelance, or in your own business. It also covers gym floor and fitness instructor roles, makes you eligible for CIMSPA membership, and is the qualification professional indemnity insurers ask for.

The difference with this route is what sits around the certificate. The Essentials course gets you working, the FASTER skill courses make you the trainer clients recommend, and the community and free return access mean you are never doing any of it alone. Qualified is the floor here, not the ceiling.
