Personal Trainer
CYQ Personal Trainer Award (Level 3)
Our personal training courses will provide you with all of the skills you need to start a fantastic new career as a personal trainer. Successful personal trainers work hard, with a broad range of clients, in a number of locations and at different times of the day. Your clients will have many different aspirations, needs and levels of fitness and their development will be in your hands. You will be expected to be highly professional, expert in your field and to take responsibility for the health, safety and well-being of others.
The rewards? A career that is both financially and emotionally rewarding that gives you the independence of being your own boss and the flexibility to build a career around your life rather than the other way around. Most importantly of all, it's a career that you'll love!
