Level 3 Award in Business Skills for Personal Trainers

Once you’ve achieved your personal training qualifications, many PTs are faced with the dilemma of starting their own fitness business or looking for employment. Personal trainers are often drawn to the self-employed business model because of the flexibility it affords and the uncapped earning potential. Running your own personal training business certainly puts you in control of your own future.

It’s essential that you don’t underestimate just how much work is involved in starting your own PT business and you certainly don’t want to get the basics wrong. Everyone makes mistakes when they are starting a business, but you don’t want to make those mistakes on the easy stuff. Unfortunately, there are many fitness professionals who often overlook the fundamentals and this could go some way to explaining why 1 in 3 UK businesses fail within the first three years.

Our Level 3 Award in Business Skills has been specifically designed to equip you with the necessary knowledge, skills and confidence to ensure your fitness or personal training business thrives. We’ll teach you how to become a start-up success and not a casualty. One of the many benefits of this course is that it can be completed exclusively online.
