World-class online personal training courses

Essentially, there is only one main difference between our online personal training course and our face-to-face personal training course and that’s how the qualification is achieved.

As this course doesn’t require you to attend practical training at one of our nationwide venues, all of the learning can be completed from the comfort of your own home, at your own pace. When the time comes, theory assessments are completed online, within LES (Learner Engagement System). With regards to the practical assessments, these are completed in your own gym, so you’ll be required to film yourself with a friend or family member as your client.

In no way will you be disadvantaged because you’ve chosen to do an online course. You’ll still have access to print and digital manuals, and unlimited support. We’ve also included a wealth of other learning resources including over 70 online lectures, over 60 practical training videos and exclusive PT Business Mastery content from world-leading personal trainer Matt Roberts.

All of the theory assessments are completed online within our LES (Learner Engagement System). The theory parts of the course are completed as open-book, multiple-choice workbooks spanning the length and breadth of the programme. These workbooks can be completed as many times as you need to pass them. There’s no booking or re-assessment fees involved.

After the theory workbooks have been completed, you can start to think about the practical side of things. For your practical assessments, you’ll need to be in a gym environment and have a friend or family member with you to act as your client. You’ll then film your sessions (a tablet or smartphone is more than sufficient) and submit them to your Learner Support Tutor for marking.

The simple answer to this question is… everything that’s included with our face-to-face personal trainer courses and more. From the moment you enrol, you’ll be assigned a Learner Support Tutor who is on hand Monday – Friday via phone or email. Their support is unlimited and they’ll be able to answer any questions you may have.

Alongside this, you’ll also receive 24/7 access to LES, the Learner Engagement System. This innovative online platform is where you’ll find a wealth of learning resources including practice quizzes, workbooks and over 70 online video lectures and over 60 practical training videos. Essentially, everything you need to truly bring the course to life. As an exclusive to our online personal training courses, we’ve also included PT Business Mastery. Presented by Matt Roberts, one of the world’s most accomplished personal trainers, these video lectures will guide you through a range of topics all centred around starting a personal training business.

Accompanying LES and the online resources we provide are seven comprehensive training manuals and these are supplied as both print and digital versions, the latter being available via the HFE app. These manuals are bespoke and have been written and designed by our team of in-house experts.

We don’t want anything standing in the way of you enrolling onto our online personal training courses and that’s why we have an open and honest pricing model.

If you’d like to get everything sorted upfront then we provide a 5% discount when you pay for the course in full. Alternatively, you can spread the course of your online PT course with our 0% interest 6 and 12-month payment plans. With either option, you can secure your place for just £250.

We’ve produced a comprehensive guide to guaranteed interviews and jobs for personal trainers that you should read if you’d like more information about those practices. Essentially, it’s not something we’ve ever engaged with because we firmly believe you should be in complete control of your career.

Instead of pushing you down a certain path or recommending specific employers or employment routes, we’ve created CV Connect. This is a truly game-changing way for our personal training graduates to secure their dream job. As you soon as you’ve completed your online personal trainer course, you’ll instantly unlock access to CV Connect within LES (Learner Engagement System).

From here, all you’ll need to do is upload your CV, search for employers in our area and apply directly. There are no recruitment agencies or other gatekeepers to deal with, just a direct path to thousands of employment opportunities with the likes of UP Fitness, Pure Gym, Your Personal Training, David Lloyd, Fitness First and many more.

As part of our online personal trainer course, we’ve also included PT Business Mastery. This is a series of exclusive video lectures from Matt Roberts, one of the world’s best personal trainers. It’s a perfect resource for those who really want to take things into their own hands and start a personal training business.

When it comes to becoming a personal trainer, we want you to have as much flexibility and freedom as possible and that’s why you have up to 12 months to complete our online personal training courses. We’ve been delivering courses for well over ten years and our interactions with thousands of students have taught us everyone is different and everyone learns at a different pace. A ‘one size fits all’ approach simply doesn’t work and the structure and content of our online PT course reflects that.

Our in-depth study guide provides a month-by-month breakdown of all the topics you’ll need to cover and it’s a great way to structure your learning. Your dedicated Learner Support Tutor will also be on hand over the phone or via email throughout your studies. If you need any guidance at all, at any stage, they’ll be able to provide it.

What matters most is not how quickly you complete your online PT course, but the effort, energy and enthusiasm you put into your studies. Ultimately, it’s the way you’re going to get the most enjoyment out the experience as well.
