Do I have to be a L3 personal trainer to do the courses?
No. We recognise that not everyone who has a good level of knowledge and experience in physical conditioning, exercise instruction and therapy has a L3 Personal Trainer qualification. We’re happy to take any student with this background and with a desire to learn!. You may also wish to study our courses for personal development and interest, which is also fine. (If you collect REPs CPD points you will need L3 Personal Trainer).
Do I need to complete the iPT / iPT modules in order?
Complete online Module 1: Fundamentals of Injury Management first. The remaining 2 modules can be completed in any order.
