The role of a Personal Trainer is to coach clients (on both a one-to-one and small group basis) towards their health and fitness goals. A personal trainer is a positive, professional individual committed to motivating clients to achieve their health and fitness goals through personalised coaching, taking into account factors such as: lifestyle, wellbeing, fitness and nutrition for an effective service.
Through the design and delivery of bespoke training programmes, nutritional advice and holistic lifestyle management, Personal Trainers motivate clients to positively change their behaviour and improve their overall wellbeing by providing specialist, tailored advice within their scope of practice, while always being aware of when to refer clients to relevant appropriate professionals for specialist information and guidance (e.g. physiotherapist, registered dietician, medical specialist).
Apprentices without Level 2 English and maths (GCSE Grade 4 or equivalent) will need to achieve this prior to taking the end-point assessment. Some employers may also choose to include industry relevant qualifications, such as L2 Certificate in Fitness Instructing. As part of the apprenticeship, Apprentices will build a portfolio of evidence related to their role and requirements of the end point assessment.
The entry requirement for this apprenticeship will be decided by each employer, but may typically be five GCSEs (or equivalent) at Grade 4 minimum, including a qualification in Sport, Fitness or PE. You may also choose to consider applicants based on relevant prior experience.
