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.
