Online
Study entirely remotely, at your own pace, through OriGym’s e-learning platform. This is the most flexible option and the default format for our CPD courses and Level 4 specialist qualifications, such as our Diabetes, Obesity and Weight Management, and Sports Nutrition courses.
Our Personal Trainer courses also offer an Online option, with one key difference: rather than being entirely remote, you’ll need to attend an in-person practical assessment at one of our UK training centres once you’ve completed your theory online. Everything else, including all coursework and tutor support, is delivered the same way as our fully online courses.
Best for: fitness professionals balancing existing clients or full-time work who want maximum flexibility over when and where they study.
Hybrid
Combine online theory with in-person practical workshops. You’ll complete the theory side of your course through our e-learning platform at your own pace, then attend practical sessions to develop hands-on skills and put your learning into practice. This is how our Yoga Teacher Training, and Sports Massage courses are delivered. You can also choose to study any of our Personal Training courses via this hybrid option.
Best for: courses where practical, hands-on assessment is essential, and for students who want some face-to-face learning without committing to a fully in-person course.
Part-time
Study the full Level 2 and Level 3 Personal Trainer Diploma entirely in person at our Liverpool training centre, spread over 10 weeks. You’ll attend two set days each week, combining classroom-based learning with practical sessions in our on-site gym, the exact same qualification and content as our Full-Time course, just delivered at a more manageable pace.
Best for: those who want the structure and support of in-person training, but need a slower pace than the 4-week Full-Time course allows.
Full-time
Qualify in as little as 4 weeks by studying the Level 2 and Level 3 Personal Trainer Diploma entirely in person at our Liverpool training centre. You’ll attend five days a week, combining classroom-based learning with practical sessions in our on-site gym, making this the fastest route to qualifying as a personal trainer.
Best for: those who want to qualify as quickly as possible and can commit to full-time, in-person study for 4 weeks.
SUPPORT WHILE YOU STUDY
Whichever study option you choose, you’ll have the same level of support behind you.
