Level 3 Personal Trainer Course

Once the full course fee is paid we request your certificate from the awarding body. You should expect to receive your certificate between 6 to 8 weeks, but in the meantime OriGym will provide you with an internal copy.

If you enrolled on a payment plan, your Level 3 Personal Trainer certificate will be sent once your balance is cleared. You can receive your certificate sooner by paying your remaining balance at no additional expense.

Our Level 3 Personal Training courses start at just £1,199, with flexible finance plans and 0% interest available for all study methods. We own many of our training venues through our sister company, which massively reduces overheads and allows us to keep our courses affordable. We also do not apply unnecessary admin fees, certification charges or exam fees that many of our competitors apply.
