FITCERT
WHO ARE WE? WHAT DO WE DO?

OUR STORY
Keith recognised that the current standard of Personal trainers and group instructors needed and improvement. Keith recognised Trainers needed more than just “knowing your way around the gym” to be successful.
Keith developed a syllabus and classroom teaching methodology through stringent examination and assessment and quality assurance processes to develop and deliver a unique qualification with a practically structured course.
Fitcert through extensive research and development are always the first Fitness Provider to and introduce new qualifications and methods of training backed by science based evidence.
The current success of Fitcert is down to the results of the Students.
Fitcert students are not only gaining employment with large commercial gyms and studios but the employers are actively seeking out Fitcert Qualified students.
We also host a Jobs Summit, whereby employers are present with Jobs available and are presented to all our students.
We believe in delivering highly practical courses to enable students to commence employment immediately upon competition of the qualification.
What makes Fitcert different is that we provide real life case study exam procedures which are relative to what actually happens in a gym. Exams have a practical purpose to everyday life in a gym.
Fitcert Tutors have a lifetime of experience and currently run their own successful businesses. All Fitcert Tutors have earned a Bsc, Msc and some are currently undertaking a Phd.
