LEVEL 3 PERSONAL TRAINER
The qualification that lets you train clients for a living. It is also the one that unlocks the FASTER PT Manager, free, the day you pass.
What is the Level 3 Personal Trainer qualification?
The Level 3 Personal Trainer qualification is the one that lets you train clients for a living in the UK, rather than only instructing on a gym floor. You need a Level 2 before you start it. With FASTER it is £900 paid in full, or £150 deposit and 10 monthly payments of £90, plan total £1,050. It is delivered through FOCUS Awards and recognised by CIMSPA. Your work is marked by a real person, not software, and you can study it on your phone and dictate your answers instead of typing. When you certify, the FASTER PT Manager and your free listing on the FASTER register come with it, and you keep free return access to the course content for life.
What you get
How it works
Who the Level 3 is for
You have got the Level 2. Maybe it came with a stack of courses you never opened, from a company you never heard from again.
The Level 3 finishes the job properly. Taught by the people who wrote it, marked by real people, and when you certify, the software and the register come with it. The support you should have had the first time.

"They continue to support, push and question me, long after finishing my level 3. The extra courses they offer, and unique 'family' approach in supporting their students have given me the confidence and tools to find my way in the fitness industry. I cannot recommend John Hardy and his team enough."
Not sure if the Level 3 is for you?
If you are not sure it fits, ask. John will tell you honestly whether this is the right step or whether something else suits you better. No deadline, no pressure. The founder answers the WhatsApp.
