Assessments & Accreditations
Assessments
It is important when enrolling on to a course that you have a clear timeline to completion and an understanding of what you need to do to pass.
As soon as you enrol, your course support tutor will arrange a call with you so that they can talk you through your assessment plan. This will essentially be your timeline to completion and will set you some motivation with your studies and targets to aim for.
Online assessments
Once you complete a unit online, it can be assessed immediately, allowing you to do the assessment whilst the knowledge is fresh and to save you hanging around for an exam. Our online end-of-unit assessments can all be done from the comfort of your own home when you are ready to do so. Your support tutor will be at hand to help with any revision and to get everything organised for you.
Some units, such as nutrition and anatomy, will be assessed using a multiple choice exam - this is performed as exam conditions and is also completed from your home. It is an excellent set up that allows you to complete a unit before moving onto the next subject.
And finally some units will be passed by completing some of your course portfolio which is a case study and online worksheet. Allowing you to apply your newly learnt skills to a real-life client.
Practical assessments
To showcase the knowledge you have learnt from the practical workshops and the online content, as well as allowing you to show us how you will want to be acknowledged as a Personal Trainer, you will build up a course portfolio and case study.
This is where you will train an individual as an active client, analysing and educating them on their training, lifestyle and nutritional habits. You course support tutor will be at hand to help with this every step of the way, this stage of your learning reflects who you are as an individual and it builds up your experience, knowledge and confidence in training a client.
As well as documenting your case studies journey through training and nutrition, you will complete the course by submitting to us a filmed assessment of you training your client in a gym or non-gym environment.
This filmed assessment is again done in your own time and in your own environment, giving a real relaxed sense to the assessment, allowing you to truly be yourself and to also document your transition from study to being a fully qualified Personal Trainer.
