What our graduates think...

I’m an avid runner - ultra marathons specifically. I took this certification as a way of looking for alternative methods to improve my fitness as, at 42, I can't rely purely on youth. Applying the knowledge gained on this certification, I have lost around 2 kilos and manage my usual 16 and half mile run around ten minutes faster. A personal best for me, and an indicator that knowledge is power.5stars

Alan Johnson, Rutland, United Kingdom

I have thoroughly enjoyed learning how nutrition directly impacts our performance in exercise. I particularly enjoyed studying hydration and how I can monitor my own personal habits alongside the certification. This certification has not only educated me, but has also had an impact in how healthily I now eat. I love how easy the format is and how simple it is to navigate from module to module. The modules are broken down into smaller PDFs which was great when I have been fitting my studies around a busy work schedule. 5stars

Amy Jackson, Norwich, United Kingdom

I really enjoyed all the content, and believe it is something I can use with my own personal training when I begin. The certification is very informative and the system is easy to use. A big thank you for this certification and its content. I hope to use it to great effect when starting my own business. 5stars

  • Q.Do I have to submit written assignments?

    A.No. Instead, you are presented with learning checks built into each module, student games and polls, practical exercises, and online tests. This way you don’t feel stuck over the composition of written assignments and your study time is reduced.

  • Q.What assessments are in there?

    A.At the end of each module, there is a multiple choice quiz based on the readings and lesson materials. The purpose of the quizzes is to enhance your retention of the material. You are permitted to refer to the module lessons and other notes during the quizzes. There is no time limit and you have an unlimited number of attempts to take the quiz. You will see feedback on your correct and incorrect answers after you pass. At the end of the course, there is a final theory exam (online), covering what you have learned in all modules.
