Students on our Level 3 Sport course can take part in a specialist Personal Training role, combining morning classroom lessons with up to three weekly afternoons working with our student athletes in a professional gym. Learners gain hands-on experience while working towards an additional personal training qualification, developing real-world skills in fitness instruction, client support, and gym-based coaching.

This role is designed to help students grow in confidence, professionalism, and practical fitness skills. Alongside morning lessons on the Level 3 Sport course, students spend up to three afternoons a week in a real gym environment, developing their knowledge, communication, and coaching ability. With support from industry professionals, learners also work towards a recognised personal training qualification—preparing them for a successful future in health and fitness.
