What you get

Your Level 3 Personal Trainer Certificate

Awarded by FOCUS Awards and recognised by CIMSPA, building directly on the Level 2 you already hold.

Core FASTER courses every serious trainer needs

The foundation beyond the certificate: the science, movement and client skills that make trainers worth recommending.

Optional courses you choose

Picked as your career and clients take shape, not bought blind on day one. A route with choices, like a degree should be.

John mentoring your direction throughout

Not a course tutor. The founder, helping you decide what to learn next, what to charge, and where your career goes.

The FASTER community of trainers

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

Free return access. Forever.

Every course in your route stays yours. Students from 2007 still come back to refresh, for free.

How it works

1

Enrol and start today

No start dates, no waiting for a cohort. You can be studying within the hour, with John mentoring from the first week.

2

Qualify at Level 3

Complete your Personal Trainer Certificate around your gym shifts, building directly on the Level 2 you already hold.

3

Build your route

Core courses first, then options chosen around your real clients and the specialism that emerges. Nothing bought blind.

4

Keep growing

Your direction gets reviewed as your career takes shape. The route adapts to where the work takes you.

What this qualifies you for

You finish with the Level 3 Personal Trainer Certificate, awarded by FOCUS Awards, an Ofqual-regulated awarding organisation, and recognised by CIMSPA. Held alongside your Level 2, that lets you work unsupervised as a personal trainer in the UK: your own clients, in a gym, freelance, or in your own business, with the insurance and CIMSPA membership eligibility the work requires.

The difference is everything stacked around it. The core courses build the science, movement and client skills the certificate alone does not teach, and the optional courses qualify you in the directions your actual career takes, chosen with John rather than guessed at on day one.

This is the route for people who already know this is their career. Not a bag of courses. A degree model, without the degree price or the degree's three lost years of earning.

"I started my education through FASTER in 2010 and it was the single best decision I made for my career. John Hardy is the most giving and inspiring teacher I've ever had the pleasure of learning from."
