Key Information

This course is the entry level qualification for the fitness industry. This certificate allows graduates to work as a certified gym instructor, but does not provide sufficient qualification to give personal training to clients.
If you wish to enrol on any of the higher level Diploma in Personal Training course packages, the Gym Instructor qualification is included as a component part of the foundation learning, and is completed at the same time as the PT Diploma (see PT Diplomas course packages).
It is therefore not required to enrol separately onto the Gym Instructor course prior to enrolling in any of the Diploma in Personal Training course packages.
