Study Anywhere, On Your Time

So, whether you want to fast-track your qualification or take your time — the journey fits around your lifestyle.

Learning That Fits Around Life


Traditional classrooms don’t suit everyone — and that’s where our blended learning shines.

Through a mix of digital study, one-to-one support, and in-person practical sessions (available regionally across the UK), we give you flexibility without compromise.

Many of our students record their gym assessments locally or attend one of our nationwide venues — whichever suits you best.

Whether you live in the UK or overseas, you’re always connected to a dedicated support team ready to help you succeed.

Achieve the Career of Your Dreams

With our cutting-edge online learning platform, you can access lessons, videos, and resources whenever it works for you — from home, the gym, or on the go.

The online support and tutors were so helpful and professional, making it all very clear and they were always quick at responding.
