If you are seeking a personal training qualification - I couldn’t recommend Educate Fitness enough. The course content is easy to follow, detailed, relevant and the tutor support is second to none. Do not waste your time looking at other options - choose Educate Fitness. Outstanding company to deal with.
Rory APersonal Trainer
I did my L2 & L3 with Educate Fitness. The course is extremely flexible so that it can fit around your lifestyle! Overall, the courses are so easy to follow and the structure has a nice mix of exams, such as online, workbook/written work & practical assessment, I felt like this gave a good variation to the style of learning and kept the course engaging throughout. The tutors are extremely responsive if you ever need any help or have any concerns, and are so supportive throughout the duration of the course! Couldn’t recommend enough!!
Ellie SPersonal Trainer
The course is VERY well put together, the staff are professional, supportive, and very quick to reply to messages. I feel TOTALLY prepared and ready for a career in the fitness industry thanks to Educate Fitness.
Craig WPersonal Trainer
Honestly I wouldn’t recommend another company when looking to become a qualified personal trainer. The course was presented very clearly and whenever I needed help Damian was always there to assist me. It sounds scary at first but all the content they give gives thorough explanations and guided me very well. 5 star. Thank you for helping me on my journey.
Itai APersonal Trainer
Incredibly helpful and rewarding. In the past when I’ve dealt with courses they usually just leave you to fend for yourself or take a far too relaxed approach to making sure you’re getting the help and support you need. But with educate fitness, any enquiry I asked or any questions I needed answered were met with more information that I was expecting which is incredibly ideal.
Reagan MPersonal Trainer
