Level 4 Advanced Personal Trainer

The field of personal training and the needs of modern day professional personal trainers is rapidly evolving in line with the broad ranging needs and goals of the clients they serve. As a result, the industry has never been more competitive. Highly successful personal trainers are results driven and confidently differentiate their services offered to provide an ethical service and sustain a highly successful business. Driving this success is a more scientific and evidence-based approach to programming, training, monitoring and managing clients which translates to better client retention as well as attracting new clients. This qualification will provide you with the enhanced knowledge and skills to fully understand your clients, utilise an evidence-based approach to programming and develop a successful and sustainable personal training business.

This course requires two days attendance at the start. You will then be required to work with a real client (apparently healthy and have no medical conditions which would be considered outside the scope of practice for a PT) for at least 12 weeks whilst recording all sessions, modifications, adaptations, progressions, reassessments, results and any other relevant notes in a professional manner. This will form the basis of a live case study which must be over a period of at least 12 weeks. You will also be required to prepare a presentation and vivas.

Your assessor will carry out a viva approximately every 4 weeks via telephone/Skype and then you will have a final presentation assessment and viva either supplied electronically or you are scheduled to attend.
The course will include a specially chosen Human Kinetics publication which is included in the course price. There will be a recommended reading list provided if you wish to undertake further reading to support your studies.
