You’ll gain the Ofqual-regulated Focus Awards Level 2 + 3 Diploma in Personal Training — covering the Level 2 Certificate in Fitness Instructing and the Level 3 Certificate in Personal Training.

The qualifications are CIMSPA-recognised and internationally recognised, so you can work as a Personal Trainer across the UK and abroad, on an employed or self-employed basis.

No — just a passion for health and fitness. You aren’t required to have any previous qualifications or experience. This package takes you from complete beginner through to qualified Personal Trainer with a business up and running.

Start any time and complete everything within 6–12 months. For the Diploma itself, choose the delivery that suits you: Self-Paced, or 12-Week Structured with a set weekly schedule and cohort.

Your 12 months of mentoring and member benefits run from the date you complete your Diploma — so you always get a full year of support after you qualify.

There are no theory exams. You’re assessed through coursework, completed online at your own pace with support from your tutor, plus a practical assessment where you demonstrate your coaching skills.

No need to worry — resits are free. If you don’t pass a piece of coursework or a practical assessment first time, your tutor will give you feedback on exactly what to improve, and we’ll support you through to a pass.

All practical days take place at Gain Forth Barbell Club, Belfast.

Level 2 and Level 3 practical workshops run every month, all year round — you book each day as you progress through the course, so your training fits around your life. Practical assessments are available on multiple days each month.

Your package includes any 10 of our specialist in-person training days, all delivered at Gain Forth Barbell Club, Belfast. Choose from:

Instructor CPDs are open to you once you complete Level 2; workshops once you complete Level 3 — and new dates run throughout the year, so you can spread your ten days across your course and the year beyond.

The day you complete your Diploma. Your mentoring runs for a full 12 months from qualification: the intensive 12-week one-to-one mentorship programme first, then a monthly one-to-one call with your mentor for the rest of the year — alongside 12 months of member benefits, the online member platform, coaching tools and templates.

Your package includes one specialist qualification of your choice: Level 4 Strength & Conditioning, Level 4 Nutrition / Sports Nutrition Coaching, or the Level 3 Female Coaching Specialisation. You don’t have to decide at enrolment — you can choose once you’re under way and know the direction you want to take.

Your package already includes one specialist qualification — and with discounted member pricing, you can add further specialisms whenever you’re ready, from the remaining specialist qualifications to instructor CPDs.
