To work as a personal trainer in the UK you need a Level 2 Gym Instructor qualification and a Level 3 Personal Trainer qualification. Level 2 gets you onto a gym floor. Level 3 lets you train clients for a living. The FASTER Certified PT bundle covers both, delivered through FOCUS Awards and recognised by CIMSPA, for £1,500 paid in full, or £200 deposit and 16 monthly payments of £94, plan total £1,704. There is no entry qualification and no waiting for a course date. You buy it, you start it. You get the FASTER PT Manager software from day one to learn on, at no extra cost, and you use it with real clients once you are qualified and listed on the FASTER Trainer Register (free). Your access to the course content stays free for life.
The route, in two phases
- 1
Phase 1. QUALIFY. Level 2 Gym Instructor, then Level 3 Personal Trainer. The qualifications that let you train clients for a living.
- 2
Phase 2. RUN YOUR BUSINESS. PT Manager, FASTER's own trainer software, yours from day one to learn on, and yours to use with real clients once you are qualified and on the FASTER Trainer Register: bookings, payments through your own Stripe, programmes and client records. Free, with no per-client charge, because we would rather you kept your own money than paid five companies a cut of it.
What the parts cost
Level 2: £600. Level 3: £900. Together: £1,500.

What you get
How it works
Who the Certified PT bundle is for
You want to become a personal trainer and you have noticed the industry makes it confusing on purpose. Course names that all sound the same, prices that end in 99, salespeople who ring you within four minutes of a click. This is the other way. Two qualifications, one course that makes your software work, one price on the page.
If you want a career rather than a certificate, and you would rather be taught by the people who wrote the course than a login portal, start here.
"They go above and beyond. Not only do they provide you with the knowledge you must have as a Personal Trainer but they also give you extra tools and walk with you all the way during and even after doing the course."
Common questions
- What does the £1,500 include?
- Level 2 Gym Instructor (£600 on its own) and Level 3 Personal Trainer (£900 on its own), with PT Manager, FASTER's own trainer software, included free with no per-client charge, a free listing on the FASTER Trainer Register, every assessment marked by a real tutor you can reach on WhatsApp, no resit fees, payment plans at checkout, and free return access to the content for life, every update included.
- Why is FASTER £1,500 when a Level 3 course can be £899?
- Because a Level 3 on its own is one qualification, and with FASTER it is £900 on its own, about the same. The £1,500 is both qualifications and the software: Level 2 + Level 3, with PT Manager (FASTER's own trainer software, free, with no per-client charge), a free listing on the FASTER Trainer Register, a real tutor marking every assessment, no resit fees, and free return access to the content for life.
- Is it recognised?
- Yes. Level 2 and Level 3 are delivered through FOCUS Awards and recognised by CIMSPA, so they count where it matters: insurers, gyms and employers.

On the FASTER route the qualification is Phase 1 of three, and each phase ends with a real conversation with John about what is next for your business. The Level 3 course asks you to build a personal development plan; the mentored route is that plan with a person attached.
