WHY STUDY WITH US

WE USE A BLENDED ASSESSMENT APPROACH FOCUSING ON DEVELOPING THE REAL WORLD PRACTICAL SKILLS YOU NEED FOR INDUSTRY.

There is a block of online learning that must be completed before each small group tutorial. This pre–tutorial learning includes a series of assessment “quizzes” that are completed as you learn. These assessments are designed to ensure you are learning the content of the programme well and you’re ready to take part in practical tutorials. Your tutors can provide you with further support in completing your online assessments if required.

Practical assessments will be conducted by your tutor. These practical assessments are based on the real-world tasks of a Personal Trainer and are a very valuable learning opportunity. Graduates of the programme have significant confidence in their skills due to this approach.

There are also independent projects that must be completed in order to gain your qualifications. The projects are designed to assist graduates in their transition to working in the fitness industry or pursuing their own fitness journey.
