Gaining a personal training qualification is simply not enough!
Unfortunately so many individuals who fail to take their personal training education seriously soon realise, simply gaining a personal training qualification is not enough to ensure they do well in the fitness industry. This is unfortunately why a large percentage of newly qualified personal trainers quit their dream job soon after entering the industry due to feeling out of their depth. DON’T let this be you!
PT Mentorships are here to change the trend. We are here to help individuals reach their potential and develop a long and successful career in the fitness industry. So, if you are passionate about becoming a personal trainer and helping others, this is the course for you!
What makes us so different?
At PT Mentorships, we appreciate that education is a key component to success, but so too is the application of that knowledge. That’s why we developed a mentorship programme that offers you the best support and guidance throughout your personal training course that is unrivalled in the fitness industry:
- Access to top quality course manuals to reference from both during and after your course. Highlight, scribble, doddle on them, they are yours to keep!
- Face to face workshops - gain confidence in coaching people and boosting your interpersonal skills, become competent in demonstrating exercises to others with perfect technique and boost your own training by putting the theory learnt into practice.
- Regular video meetings - remain motivated throughout your course by checking in with your mentor on a weekly basis. Have the chance to ask that 'silly' question, or have the ability to re-watch all video meetings close to assessment day!
- Email support - sometimes a simple email is all it takes to break through a learning block. Message us, we are here to help!
- Our course study guide, providing additional learning material to provide information above and beyond what the formal qualifications syllabus offers alone.
What we expect from you in return is to take pride in your work, embrace the learning experience, work hard, dedicate enough time to your studies, and above all maintain a passion for helping others improve their health and fitness.
Face-to-face workshops
All our courses offer you valuable face to face support and guidance with your mentor. We realise that being in a gym environment and learning your craft in a “hands on” manner is one of the most important parts of making you competent. Here is what you’ll learn on these days:
