You will then attend five days delivered from Monday to Friday at T2HQ. This blend of digital and practical learning prepares you for the world of fitness today. 

We limit our groups to no more than 14 people meaning that you get an intense learning experience. With real-time feedback from our expert tutors, your days will be split between studying theory in classrooms before applying what you’ve learnt on the gym floor. The final day of your course is a live practical assessment where you will find out immediately whether you’ve passed your qualification.

Part Time

With the same blend of prior study before attending a live course, this option spreads your contact days over weekends, making it suitable for balancing any weekday commitments you may have. As with the full-time option, the final day of your course is a live practical assessment where you will find out immediately whether you’ve passed your qualification.

Bespoke

If the choices above aren’t quite the perfect fit, we can find a solution that suits you.
