This is a full online course for preparation for the Level 2 Certificate in Fitness Instructing (Gym) which provides access onto the Register of Exercise Professionals (REPs) at level 2.

Level 2 gym instructors are also eligible for the level 3 Personal Trainer qualification.

“A great a way into work as a gym instructor and starting your career in the fitness industry”.

A very popular choice is to take the level 2 gym instructor and level 3 personal trainer together as the HFI Personal Trainer Diploma. These two qualifications are completed in smooth succession at a pace to suit individual candidates – fast track or slow and steady.

If you are a sport/exercise degree graduate read about gaining the Level 3 PT via fast-track for graduates without taking the level 2 gym certificate (graduates must have the ACSM HFS qualificaion).

Who is this for?

• Anyone of 16 years of age or more
