Course Structure

For the FAE Level 3 & Level 4 Diploma in Fitness Instruction and Personal Training, learners can attend between 7 to 10 workshop days.
We would advise learners to leave themselves sufficient time in order to complete suitable learning before attending workshop days. This helps learners maximise the learning benefit and chances of a successful assessment. Your tutor would advise you on how best to do this.

Pre-Workshop

Before attending the Level 3 & Level 4 Diploma in Fitness Instructing and Personal Training workshop, we recommend completing the three core sections of the Fitness Assistant online learning, as well as the following modules:

Module 2 – Anatomy and Physiology for Health and Fitness,
Module 3 – Fitness Instructing, and
Module 4 – Nutrition for Health and Fitness.

This preparation helps cover the more theoretical components of the course. Typically, learners should have submitted and passed all assessments for these modules prior to the workshop.

Fitness Assistant Sections:

How the body works
How to adopt an active healthy lifestyle
How to ensure a safe, clean, and friendly environment

Fitness Instructor and Personal Training Modules:

Anatomy & Physiology for Health and Fitness
Fitness Instructor
Nutrition for Health and Fitness
Business skills for Personal Training
Consultation, Testing and Programme Design
Exercise Instruction for Personal Training
Posture and Movement Assessment
Online Personal Training Services

During the workshop, the focus is primarily on the practical elements of your qualification, while also reinforcing key theoretical concepts previously covered in your online learning.

Learning Resources

After you sign up for the Level 3 & Level 4 Diploma in Fitness Instructing and Personal Training, you’ll get an email with instructions on how to join. This gives you access to the learning materials for your Level 3 & Level 4 Diploma in Fitness Instructing and Personal Training.
You will discover that these tools offer you access to all of the worksheets, necessary manuals, mock tests, case study documents, and knowledge checkers that you will require. Because the resources have been thoughtfully organised in the appropriate unit order, you should have no trouble navigating through them all. The combination of all of these resources will guarantee that you are well-prepared for both the test and the workshop.

A tutor will then be in contact in the next few working days to schedule your online induction which will usually last for 60-90 minutes.
You will receive ongoing support from your tutor but also be able to communicate with them via email, phone, and request additional webinar support when requested.
There are many different resources that you can use on our platform that is modeled after “Netflix,” and each of these plays a function in assisting you in getting the most out of your learning journey.
Your on-program teacher will provide you with lessons that contain a variety of educational materials for you to work through. These will assist you in reaching each milestone of the personal training qualification you are working towards.

You’ll get access to the following:

A variety of high-quality study materials.

Access to an online learning platform featuring extensive content that has been developed expressly for each individual training course unit.
Online Learning

You will have the option to check your understanding of each unit using a knowledge checker. Each question in the knowledge checker has been carefully selected from a very large question bank. These might be true or false, multiple choice, fill in the blank, mark the words or any number of other types of questions!
Exercise library

You will have an access to our exercise library with over 700 different exercises. Whether you're a beginning exerciser who needs help getting started or someone who wants to add some spice to your fitness routine, our FAE Exercise Library offers a variety of movements to choose from. Browse through total-body exercises or movements that target more specific areas of the body. Each comes with a detailed description and photos to help ensure proper form.

Workshop Days

You are required to go to a workshop as part of the curriculum for your personal training course. On each of these days, there will be a total of four sessions: two in the morning and two in the afternoon. A review of previously acquired knowledge is followed immediately by an exercise that puts that information to use during each and every session. You will have the opportunity to have open conversations in an atmosphere that is both encouraging and friendly during these sessions, which are led by our knowledgeable personal trainers.

You may check out the reviews that people have left about our personal training workshop days on Google. There have been a lot of favorable comments.

Recorded Submissions

We strongly encourage you to provide your own recordings of your approach, delivery, and consulting styles so that we can better support online and distant learning. This can be accomplished by providing your instructor with a link to a recording of you speaking, which they will then listen to and provide you with valuable feedback on. This provides you with the additional benefit of ongoing support between the days of your personal training course, allowing you to ensure that you are continuing to develop and use your newly acquired abilities.

This works both ways; you may also expect your personal training course tutor to deliver recorded demonstrations and further explanations in the same way, depending on the circumstances.

Example Pro-forma’s

Worksheets, case studies, and assignments will need to be turned in at various stages throughout the Level 4 Personal Training course that you are taking. We realise that you may not be familiar with this procedure, so in order to help you have a better grasp of what is expected of you, we will provide you with some examples of completed proformas.

The career options available following the completion of your Level 3 & Level 4 Diploma in Fitness Instructing and Personal Training don’t just stop there. With FAE there are options to progress onto other Level 4 Certificate and higher qualifications such as the Level 4 Certificate in Sports Massage, the Level 4 Certificate in Exercise Referral , and eventually become a Level 5 Specialist in Weight Management, Obesity, Nutrition, Strength & Conditioning and Diabetes.

Whichever pathway you choose, FAE will provide unbiased support and guidance to ensure you make the right steps towards your career in health and fitness and provide you with the most updated scientifically proven health and fitness qualifications that are nationally and internationally recognized.

Entry Requirements

Learners wishing to complete the Level 3 & Level 4 Diploma in Fitness Instructing and Personal Training should be:

While this qualification is for people who are at least 18 years old this is an entry-level qualification for anyone who wants to work in the fitness sector aged 16 years old or above but does not have any official qualifications. While candidates under the age of 18 are not prohibited from working in this field, it is likely that they may have problems getting the personal liability insurance coverage required.
We recommend that you have experience of gym-based exercise including free weights, although this is not essential.
You should be fit enough to cope with the physical exertion and individual participation involved in the course. FAE tutors will tailor your personal experience to your fitness, health, and experience level and we would not discourage anybody from attending on the grounds of health, fitness or disability. In some instances, a doctor's permission may be required in order to attend workshop days and assessment days.
It is highly suggested that you have some gym-based exercise experience, especially free weights. The course necessitates physical exertion and individual participation, so a level of physical fitness is required, however, this will be tailored for each learner by FAE.
