Getting A Personal Trainer Certification In The UK?
Q: I am interested in obtaining a degree as a personal trainer, I live in
Portugal but I would like to get my degree in England if possible.
I have a background in physiotherapy and as a Gym instructor and I
would like to take the next step by obtaining a Personal trainer
certification and decided to use my vacation time to invest in myself
and my professional knowledge in the fitness industry.
Any suggestions of schools in England (preferably a major city like
London) where I coudl attend a course to get a degree as a PT would be
greatly appreciated.
A:-These people do diplomas and other qualifications
http://www.premierglobal.co.uk/default.asp but they are not cheap.
They have various locations around the UK.
-Good personal trainers have degrees in sports associated areas such as
sports science or sports management or something along these lines. You
might stumble across a few institutions that offer foundation degrees in
personal training that will take you two years to complete whereas the
diplomas will take you about 12 weeks and you will still get as many clients
then you can specialize on a degree in a specific area that you can move
into when you dont want to personal train anymore.
