Course Overview

More than qualified. Build your career.

What you'll learn

Anatomy, physiology, programme design, nutrition and coaching skills, plus how to adapt exercise for older adults, work with clients referred for medical conditions, support people training around injury, and recognise and respond to mental health needs.

How it's delivered

An online course built around real lives. Study at your own pace, with support from experienced tutors and assessments mapped to professional standards. The specialist courses sit alongside your diploma, with a mix of written and video content and interactive workbooks throughout.

Where it leads

This is the starting point. From here you can work as a personal trainer, specialise as an exercise referral or older adult coach, support clients through injury and recovery, or progress into other areas of health and wellbeing when you’re ready.

Course Details

Everything you need to know before you start

Course Delivery

You learn through a mix of structured e-learning, coaching demonstrations, real-world scenarios and applied tasks. The course is media-rich, with video case studies, guided examples and practical challenges. You’re not just reading content. You’re using it. The Level 3 GP Exercise Referral Diploma and the specialist courses sit alongside the core diploma, so you build your health coaching knowledge as you progress rather than adding it on at the end. Support is fast and consistent. Most questions are answered the same day, and always within 24 hours. You can also book 1:1 tutor calls whenever you need them.
  • State-of-the-art online learning platform
  • Self-paced, with no set start date
  • Core diploma plus specialist health courses

Assessment

Assessment is built into the learning. You’re assessed after you’ve learned and applied the skills, not before. Across the diploma you’ll complete programme design tasks, consultation analysis, a coaching and movement assessment, a final filmed personal training session, and a professional business portfolio. The GP Exercise Referral Diploma and the specialist courses are assessed through interactive workbooks, applied tasks and case study scenarios that reflect real coaching situations. Your final assessment brings everything together, so you can show how you’d work with a real client.
  • Online theory tests and video assessments
  • Feedback within 72 hours of submission
  • Support available 7 days a week

Entry requirements

No prior qualifications are required. If you already hold a Level 2 Gym Instructor qualification, this course still builds on what you know and takes you further. It’s designed for anyone who wants to work with older adults, clients with health conditions, or people recovering from injury, whether you’re starting out or already in the industry.
  • Aged 16 or over
  • No prior qualifications needed
  • Level 2 & 3 combined, plus specialisms

Certification

On completion, you’ll achieve two Level 3 qualifications: a Level 3 Personal Training Diploma and a Level 3 Diploma in GP Exercise Referral. Both are accredited by Focus Awards under an OFQUAL-regulated curriculum, and the Personal Training Diploma is mapped to the CIMSPA professional standard. These are the qualifications employers and insurers recognise. Alongside them, you’ll gain specialist certificates in training older adults, supporting clients around common gym injuries, and mental health awareness and first aid.
