Personal Trainer Diploma

Yes, at OriGym we understand that no two students are the same which is why we provide a variety of study methods, including full-time, part-time and online learning options. The ‘best’ study method is individual to each student, if you require advice on which would best suit your lifestyle and schedule get in touch with our expert Careers Advisors here.

Full-time students will complete their Personal Training Diploma at OriGym’s Head Office in Liverpool. Learning directly from our team of expert tutors, your time will be split between studying the courses’ theoretical components in our state-of-the-art classroom, whilst also attending practical sessions on the gym floor.

Part-time and online students can learn anytime and anywhere with access to our award-nominated eLearning platform ‘The Student Zone’. You will only need to attend practical assessments, which will take place at one of OriGym’s training centres located across the country. You can even book your preferred date and venue to minimise your travel!

Once you complete the course, your Level 3 Diploma in Personal Training will be requested from the awarding body as soon as your course package has been paid for in full. After this, your certificate will be posted to you and you will receive it in 6-8 weeks. Should you require a “status of completion” for a pending employment offer, please don’t hesitate to contact us through our support channels.

If you’re on a payment plan, your diploma will only be dispatched when the remaining balance is cleared! You can pay earlier to receive your certificate sooner at no extra cost.

Our part-time and online courses are entirely self-paced, so students can complete their qualifications in a time frame that suits their schedule and study preferences. While there are no set deadlines, our part-time students generally qualify in 12 weeks, whilst our online students complete the course in an average timeframe of 16 weeks.

Our personal training diploma is fully endorsed by CIMSPA and regulated by Ofqual, the UK government body for all vocational qualifications.

In addition to this, our certificates are awarded through Focus Awards, one of the largest awarding organisations in the UK. This guarantees our qualifications are fully recognised by all fitness industry employers both here in the UK and Internationally.
