Part-time blendedlearning courses

Our blended learning course offers you the opportunity to train as a personal trainer whilst retaining full-time employment. Not only that, it can be funded via an affordable monthly payment plan that requires no credit checks.

The course format consists of 14 days of practical training and assessments (7 weekends) supported by home study, using state-of-the-art online learning tools. Whilst studying you will also be fully supported by our dedicated blended learning tutors who you can contact at any time.

Practical training workshops and assessment days take place every 4 weeks and you can choose to complete them in your preferred Academy location. We stagger our courses in the 4 locations so if you are unable to make a particular date you have the total flexibility of completing it at a later date or attending the same workshop on a different date at one of our other academies.

The format of the course is adaptable for students of all abilities and can be completed at your own pace. Normally we would expect learners to qualify in 6 to 9 months depending on ability and the number of hours per week they can dedicate to their training.

Following training you will receive a REPS accredited Level 3 Diploma in Personal Training (includes Level 2 Gym Instructor) and a Certificate in Studio Cycling (Spinning). If you would like to complete the other modules offered on our 6 week intensive programme (eg: exercise to music), you can book onto one of our intensive programmes for that module only.




Guidance notes onpractical workshops

• Students are required to attend 7 workshops (WS1 to WS7) during their training.

• Each workshop is 2 days in duration and will run on a Saturday and Sunday from 0930 to 1630.

• Workshops include a combination of theory, practical and assessments, and once enrolled, students will receive a full breakdown of each workshop.

• If you are unable to attend a workshop date you have 3 options:

(a) Attend the same workshop at an alternative academy location, on a different date

(b) Complete the areas missed via our online learning tools and future workshops

(c) Defer those elements to the next course of practical workshops in 6 months time

• We advise that all students complete at least 1 month of home study prior to commencing the practical workshops.

• Any re-sits required can be scheduled into one of 7 workshops following discussions with your course tutor.

The cost of training courses to help launch you into a new career can be an obstacle and a factor affecting your decision. Let us reassure you that our training course and on-going support is the very best available. What’s more at The Training Room PT, our Corporate Partner Placement Scheme is almost 100% successful in securing you a job afterwards. So it shouldn’t be too long before you’re earning!

Detailed below are some of the payment options that might help:

1. Full payment by cash, cheque, credit or debit card We recommend this option if you wish to save over 10% of your training fees as you

can also qualify for our advanced booking prices.

2. Funding via personal loans The majority of our students fund their training via personal loans as they tend to offer the

lowest interest rates, most flexibility, payments holidays and are also by far the quickest and easiest way to secure funding (this is important if you wish to qualify for our advance payment discount).

We would recommend visiting comparison websites like www.moneysupermarket.com and www.uswitch.com to ensure you are getting the very best options based on your current status.

It is also always worth contacting your own bank as you will already have an established relationship.

Please note that if you are not currently employed for more than 16 hours a week you may need a family member to assist you with securing a loan.
