Active IQ Level 3 Diploma in Personal Training (for those who already have Level 2 Gym Instructing).
Active IQ Level 3 Supporting Clients with Long Term Conditions (formerly Exercise Referral)

How much funding?
ELCAS will fund 80% of a training course, up to the value of the contribution amount that you are eligible for. There is always a need for a 20% personal contribution, so the lesser the price of the course, the lesser the personal contribution would be. For example our Level 3 Diploma in Personal Training is £999. This would be funded as follows:
