A Level 4 Strength and Conditioning qualification is the advanced certificate for trainers who programme for athletes and teams: warm-ups and cool-downs, lifting, speed and agility, and managing groups. You need a Level 3 personal trainer qualification first. With FASTER it is £700 paid in full, or £100 deposit and 8 monthly payments of £87, plan total £796, delivered through FOCUS Awards. Most providers sell the certificate on its own. Here, certifying also unlocks the FASTER PT Manager with the Athlete HQ, the sports season planner, and the movement analysis suite, so you can plan a whole season and analyse lifts on your phone from the day you enrol.

"I've been involved with FASTER since 2008 and can honestly say that it was the best decision I've made in my career. The support and guidance is invaluable and has helped me in no small part to get to where I am now as a trainer, with my own gym and coaching international strength athletes."

Today's session and the whole season are the same question, answered at two different distances
