“Automated online only courses never worked for me, but the personal tutoring from Josh really helped, and in in person teaching days were crucial for me. If you're thinking of doing a PT course, do it with XCert “


Jordan 

"I wanted to do this course for me, to help me to better understand my own health and fitness journey, and to help those around me! Jamie and Josh were fantastic throughout the course, and not only have I now got the qualification, its also been fun!"


Kristina 

"I balanced the course alongside my full time training as a professional boxer. I've really enjoyed the course, particularly the practical days. If you're sat on the fence about whether it's right for you, my advice is to just get started with the diploma from XCert. "

“After working with XCert's partners at FX as a client for a number of years, I knew that the only place to complete the L3 diploma would be here. Since completing the course, I have already set up my own successful studio and started working with my first clients"
