FAQs
What certification do I get?
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.
Do I need any experience or previous qualifications?
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.
How long does the course take?
Choose the delivery that suits you. Self-Paced: complete in anywhere from 10 weeks to 6 months — you decide the pace of learning and we’ll help you qualify in a timeframe that suits you. 12-Week Structured: follow a set weekly schedule with your cohort for maximum momentum and accountability.
Your 12-week business mentorship and 12 months of member benefits then begin the day you qualify.
How am I assessed?
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.
What if I don’t pass an assessment?
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.
Where and when are the practical days?
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.
