How you study

A range of options to suit your lifestyle

Four ways to study, all leading to the same certificate. Pick the one that fits the life you already have.

  • A tutor and a learner going through course material together on the gym floor

    The flexible one

    1-to-1 learning

    We understand that you lead a busy life with family, work and social commitments. With our 1-to-1 learning model we assign you your own tutor and assessor to support you through your qualification, from enrolment to certification.

    Your tutor works with you face to face at your local gym, at times that suit you. It is the option our learners talk about most.

  • Learners with clipboards in a gym classroom

    9am to 5pm, Monday to Friday

    Intensive full time

    Five to twenty days depending on the qualification. Perfect for learners currently at college or university, using Easter, Whit half term or the summer holidays to complete a qualification over one to four weeks.

    Courses run in our partner gyms across the region.

    Online learning

    The online model covers 100% of the qualification criteria, at roughly half the price of our traditional delivery. Enrolment gives you the full e-learning platform plus an assigned personal tutor you can reach by email, chat or video call.

    Coursework in your Learner Achievement Portfolio (LAP), theory exams online (multiple choice, 70% to pass, retakes allowed, instant score), and a practical you video-record with a volunteer client for a qualified examiner to assess. A library of instructional exercise videos helps you prepare. Pace is yours: a few hours a week around a job, or qualified within weeks.

    Apprenticeships

    Combine practical training in a job with study: work alongside experienced staff, gain job-specific skills, earn a wage with holiday pay, and get paid time for study related to your role. We support your employer through the whole process.

    Frameworks: Level 2 Exercise & Fitness · Level 3 Exercise & Fitness · Level 3 Supporting the Delivery of PE & School Sport · Level 2 Activity Leadership. Each bundles the vocational qualification with functional skills in English and maths (exemptions possible with evidence of prior qualifications).
