The ACSM Certified Personal Trainer is a more academic qualification than the PT Diploma but many trainers feel ready for it once they have entered the industry and realise that every trainer just has the PT Diploma and nothing else to make them stand out. Some personal trainers will have university degrees and the ACSM  Certified Personal Trainer is a chance to compete with them on an academic level. We will guide you through your learning for this very prestigious qualification.

The American College of Sports Medicine – the global leader for personal trainers and clinical exercise physiologists

There is a fantastic world of health and fitness industry excellence which is led by an international organisation based in the USA called the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM). Candidates need to gain the UK qualifications that professionals require to work in the UK but it is essential to push on and gain higher standard qualifications to become leaders in the field.

We encourage our qualified personal trainers to strive for more and get involved with "evidence-based" health and fitness science with the ACSM. Once they see certain limitations within the UK 's fitness industry in terms of scope and quality of the information available, many of our candidates have progressed to take ACSM qualifications and also university degrees and masters degrees.
