In Tim's Words

"As hands-on coaches ourselves, we want to make sure that our personal trainer course is also suitable for practical people, who want an experience which will actually equip them to do the job by the end of the course, not just learn weeks of online theory which doesn't seem to bear any relationship to real life. What's more, our industry-experienced tutors give you full support from start to finish."

How You Qualify

No Exam Hall. Prove It For Real.

True to our practical-first approach, you qualify by showing you can actually coach, not by sitting a written exam. There are two parts to the course.

Your Assessment Booklets

Work through your assessment booklets first. These build up the knowledge and planning skills you'll need for the practical, at your own pace, with full tutor support throughout.

Your Practical Assessment

Once your booklets are done, you plan and deliver a real, safe and effective PT session for one individual, film it, and send it in for marking. You're given the marking criteria and observation form before you plan, so you always know exactly what's expected.

What Your Session Must Include

A Complete, Real-World Session.

Cardiovascular Training

Three CV elements, using at least two different pieces of CV equipment:

  • ✓ A warm up
  • ✓ A main CV element
  • ✓ A cool down

For the main CV element you'll demonstrate a varied training method, for example interval training or fartlek.

Resistance Training

A balanced resistance block:

  • ✓ Four fixed-weight resistance exercises
  • ✓ Four free-weight resistance exercises

Each exercise targets a different muscle group, your tutors show you exactly how to plan, coach and adapt it.

Criteria up front

You get the marking criteria before you plan, so there are no surprises on the day.

Built around your life

Assessments are competency-based rather than fixed exams, so the course flexes if you miss a date.

Coach on your feet

You'll adapt on the spot, using progressions, regressions and variations to match the person in front of you.

Estimated study outside the course: from around 4 hours a week, depending on your experience. Full assessment detail is in the prospectus.

No. You do not need any pre-qualifications to do this course. It is designed to take complete beginners through to a nationally recognised Level 3 qualification.

The course takes place at Speed For Sport Coaching Academy in Leeds. The next intake starts on 28th July. Full venue details and directions are in the prospectus.

The diploma is validated by Focus Awards, OFQUAL regulated and recognised by CIMSPA. This means it is a nationally accepted qualification and allows you to work in any gym in the UK or set up your own business as a self-employed PT.

All three give you the same fully accredited Level 2/3 PT Diploma. Self Study (£999) is online and self-paced with tutor support. With Tim (£1,499) is also online but adds direct access to Tim, monthly 1-to-1 calls, WhatsApp access, priority feedback and a signed diploma. In Person (£2,399) takes place at Speed For Sport Academy in Leeds, face-to-face sessions, hands-on practical training in a small group environment. Full details on all three are in the prospectus.

Full duration and schedule information is in the prospectus. Request it below and you'll get all the detail you need to plan around your commitments.

This course is run by people who actually coach for a living. Tim built Speed For Sport on the belief that hands-on, practical coaching knowledge matters more than theory-heavy classrooms. That philosophy is built into how this qualification is delivered.

It's a genuine, OFQUAL-regulated Level 3 Personal Training Diploma. "Level 3" is a protected UK government standard, a course has to be certified to meet it. Be careful: many online courses advertise a "Personal Training Diploma" that is not actually at the official Level 3 standard. OFQUAL regulation is the gold standard, and it's what makes a qualification nationally recognised by bodies such as CIMSPA.

Yes. A lot of people don't realise REPS no longer exists, it was taken over by CIMSPA. This qualification is recognised by CIMSPA, the industry's professional body, so it's accepted right across the UK fitness industry.

You need to be over 16, physically able to do the work, and have good communication skills. There's no upper age limit, mature students are especially welcome, and you do not need a Level 2 qualification or any other pre-quals to join.

Yes. Payment plans are available so you can spread the investment and make it more affordable. Ask us about the options when you request your prospectus.

It depends on your experience, but we estimate a minimum of around 4 hours a week. As an example, one student with no previous qualifications completed the course comfortably by doing about an hour a night.

That's fine, the course is built to accommodate it. Because assessments are competency-based rather than fixed written exams, there's flexibility if you ever have to miss a date.

From Week One you register with the Association of Independent Personal Trainers for lifelong access to the online student hub. Once you pass, you can join as an associate member, where you can buy commercial insurance (from around £50 a year) and get ongoing support. To work as a PT you must have insurance, and insurers only cover recognised qualifications, which is exactly what this is. Insurance is not included in the course price.

At the end of the course an Examination Board, your tutors plus outside representatives, meets to guarantee the correct standard has been reached. Once the board agrees you've met it, your certificate is issued.
