What you’ll qualify with.

The personal trainers with the fullest diaries don’t just write better programmes. They run their work as a business, and clients trust them with the questions every gym-goer asks, like whether a supplement is worth it.

Level 4 Advanced Personal Trainer builds on your Level 3 and takes you to the highest regulated qualification in personal training. You’ll know how to grow your business, show clients the progress they’re paying for, and train them wherever works best: at home, at work or outdoors.

You’ll earn the Level 4 Certificate for Advanced Personal Trainers (RQF), a national qualification listed on the Regulated Qualifications Framework.

This course develops the advanced knowledge and practical skills needed to deliver effective, evidence-informed personal training. You’ll learn how to understand and motivate clients, communicate effectively, design and adapt advanced programmes, use technology to improve performance, and develop your personal training business. You’ll also explore research on behaviour change, different training environments, and the effects and ethical considerations of supplements and performance-enhancing drugs.

Your certificate is issued by Focus Awards, a government-regulated national awarding organisation.

CIMSPA is the chartered professional body for UK sport and physical activity, and they’ve awarded us their highest provider rating: ‘Enhancing’.

You’ll need to hold a Level 3 personal training qualification, and have at least six months’ experience working as a personal trainer. Just send us your certificate and CV when you enrol.

You’ll upload your portfolio and supplementary evidence files.

TAIT™, the first AI tutor in UK fitness education, is with you around the clock for course questions, admin and anything you want to go deeper on. Ask at 11pm on a Friday and you get an answer in seconds, not on Monday.

And when you want a person, you can reach your Success Coaches by phone, email or our Help Desk, Monday to Friday.
