    Hey There,

    I know there have been a few threads about this course here before, but as that was few years ago i would like to ask for an update from new course graduates.

    I'm thinking of starting this course in October and wanted to ask about opinions? Is the course good? Is it worth the money? It doesn't specifically say '' Fitness Instructor Level 3'' or ''Personal Trainer Level 4'' certificate, does that matter when applying for a job?

    I was also looking at Image Fitness, Litton Lane and Profi Fitness School, what do yous think?

    Would be interested to hear people's opinions on this also.

    There are so many different types of qualifications out there - it is a bit overwhelming when trying to decide which one to go for!

    if you both DONT get much of a response its because the industry is over run with trainers right now

    It's best to know what you want before doing these courses.

    They all provide the same certs & more or less the same course work.

    They'll grant you an absolute basic level understanding of resistance & cardio training; but do not rely on them to provide you with enough knowledge to be worth 25-40 euro an hour.

    If you already have something of an understanding, or just want the certs for your own sake; go for it.

    But as mentioned - there is a massive pool of trainers out there right now. Each course churns out approx 200 "PTs" every year.

    Honestly not trying to discourage you - it's worth it for the experience. But be prepared to continually upskill & develop yourself after.
