The game has changed- qualify as a personal trainer 100% from home

27 April 2020

It is safe to say that with the global pandemic of Covid-19, 2020 has so far been a year of huge uncertainty and change, no one could have ever predicted that our country would have been in this situation and in the last few weeks, in particular, we have learned a lot about community, working together and how adaptable as a nation we can really be.

Now, there is no question about the danger and sadness of this virus, however, it has opened opportunities for change and here at PT Academy we wanted to create something positive and beneficial out of such a negative event. One of the main areas that have seen a huge increase is a rise in digital communication platforms such as Zoom, Google Hangouts and House Party, brought on by the social distancing laws and the vast amount of people working from home or working outside of their normal daily environments.

With that in mind, we have never been a company to shy away from a challenge, no matter how big, so we wanted to tackle this head-on! As a result, we’ve been working extremely hard to adapt our Fitness and Personal Training Courses for this new home-based learning environment so all the amazing people that want to train and qualify with us won’t be missing out during this difficult time. So, we have been busy analysing the current assessment methods and the elements of gym instructing and personal training qualifications.

But what does this all mean we hear you ask? Well, what this means is that as of this week, PT Academy can now offer a complete Personal Training qualification that is 100% home learning-based, no gym or health club required! Not only are we also offering qualifications that can be completed at home, you can also be fully qualified in just 6 weeks! The normal assessment procedure will be replaced with the learner delivering the training exercises virtually through a video call, which would then be recorded for their assessment.

Now, this is not something that has been approached lightly, we have been working very hard to make sure we have comprehensively analysed all current qualification and assessment specifications and all with the support of the awarding organisation we work with we have developed four new assessment pathways. This has helped us devise these amazing new assessment methods.

We’re so happy to also announce that PT Academy is the first-ever personal training provider to offer these new pathways without any gym required! The pathways are clear, concise and above industry standard. Also, in terms of payment for our courses, we offer 0% finance and have numerous payment plans available.

We hope you’re all as excited as we are and we can’t wait to see all our newly qualified personal trainers! Watch this space for more information regarding this game-changing offering!
