Course Description

This course is aimed at individuals over the age of 18 who wish to become Personal Trainers. To gain this qualification you must successfully complete the following Central YMCA Qualifications:

Once you have achieved the above qualifications, you are entitled to claim for the Central YMCA Qualifications Level 3 Certificate in Personal Training. All you will need to do is send in your certificates for verification and then we will order the full Certificate for you.

If you already hold some of these qualifications, gained while studying with us or other providers, than you will only have to complete the qualifications that you don’t hold to gain the full Level 3 Certificate in Personal Training award. We recomend that you enrol for these qualifications seperately through our course catalogue.

Pre-requisites:

You must be over 18 years of age to gain the full qualification. To enrol onto the 4 week intensive course you will also need to hold a current Level 2 Fitness Instructor - Gym or Level 2 Fitness Instructor - Exercise to Music qualification as this will not be covered during the 4 week intensive course.

Course content & structure:

Online

As soon as you enrol for this course you will be able to access our online learning environment. You will start by completing the Level 2 Fitness Instructor - Gym qualification. After you have completed this, you will then work your way through the 5 Level 3 qualifications that make up the full award. We have structured the course so that you will complete each qualification one at a time. This will allow you to build on your knowledge as you start each new course. Your tutor will guide and support you through this entire process. You can work your way through this qualification as quickly as you like, with the majority of our students taking between 3 - 9 months to become fully qualified.

Once you have completed certain blocks of the online material you will be required to attend a variety of training days. These training days will re-cap on all of the theory you have learnt while studying on-line and provide you with an opportunity to put your practical skills into action. Your tutor will also give you valuable feedback to prepare you for your assessments that will take place througout the course.

Intensive

We now offer the full Level 3 Certificate in Personal Training qualification in a 4 week intensive format. During the 4 weeks you will complete all five of the Level 3 qualifications that make up the Personal Trainer award. You will attend one of our training venues on a full time basis for the 4 weeks.

This new 4 week full time course is ideal for Level 2 Fitness Instructors who want to gain the qualification within a short period of time. Our intensive courses are limited to 12 instructors to ensure the highest quality of teaching. If you dont already hold a Level 2 qualification, then you will need to complete this prior to enrolling onto our 4 week intensive course.

Assessment

You will be required to complete a variety of assessments to gain the Level 3 Certificate in Personal Training qualification. The exact assessment requirements of each qualification that makes up the full award is outlined within its individual course description found in the course catalogue. Your tutor will guide and support you through all of the assessment activities.
