Hey Guys.
I want to get my qualification for PT, or at least Gym Instructor for a start in London, UK. Do you have any experience with local training academies, which are most recognized or which provide fastest courses? I did my own research but there is a lot of it. I know which certificates to get and ready have some overview but would be glad for advice. Also what about companies which guarantee you a job placement after successfull completion of course and exams? Part-time or full-time course?
Just want to know your local experience and thoughts so I can best decide as this is what I want to do for a lifetime.
Thanks a lot for any replies.
Cheers.
A.

Just do any course that will get you a REPS L3 cert. The cert is the only thing that matters..most courses (and all fast track courses) are ****, but you need the piece of paper.
I don't know what the cheapest one is but PTA Global is probably the best, if not the cheapest, option. Avoid the training room, they are too expensive.High quality Home Personal Training in Edinburgh, UK.

I don't believe, in this instance, that cheapest is always best. I paid a fair bit more for my levels 2 & 3 (amongst other quals) with Premier International, and in six weeks (full time course), the training and knowledge that was imparted was fantastic. Granted, I'd already self-taught a substantial amount, but I've seen people go with training room and other companies, who came out with barely half the knowledge/advice/business sense that Premier gives.

Hi mate, completely agree with you I'm on the part time course at the moment just passed level 2 with premier working towards level 3. Training rooms was about £500 cheaper but I'm really impressed with the quality of the course the guys really know their stuff! Heard through friends that the training rooms was a lot less difficult to pass but personally would rather have it more difficult and get more in depth tutoring! (If that makes Sence)
