What is the Level 2 Gym Instructor qualification?
The Level 2 Gym Instructor qualification is the entry point to working on a UK gym floor, and the foundation the Level 3 Personal Trainer builds on. With FASTER it is £600 paid in full, or £100 deposit and 7 monthly payments of £86, plan total £702, delivered through FOCUS Awards and recognised by CIMSPA. There is no entry qualification needed. Your work is marked by a real person, you can study on your phone and dictate your answers instead of typing, and free return access to the content is included for life. If you already know you want to be a personal trainer, the Certified PT bundle includes this course, the Level 3 and Movement Coach together for £1,500.
