A really informative course. The online content was amongst the best I've seen and the method was perfect for my learning style. the one to one with my tutor was also great, he was really open and passed on loads of knowledge, supplementing the online learning really well.
The business section of the course was also useful and added real value to help me on my PT journey. I have enrolled on another 2 courses already and I'm looking forward to doing more.
I recently completed the Level 3 Personal Trainer course, and was very pleased with the experience. The course content was comprehensive, covering everything from advanced anatomy and physiology to practical training techniques.
The course also provided excellent support for exam preparation and practical assessment submission.
