  As an alternative to submitting a video of your practical assessments, for an additional fee you can either book onto and attend an In-Person assessment held on a scheduled Gym Instructor Assessment Day (to which you’ll bring your one-to-one client and hand in a copy of your completed portfolio – view dates), or you can book onto and perform a Live Virtual assessment at a bespoke time and date you arrange with us (for which you’ll have three clients with you and submit in advance via our Help Desk a copy of your completed portfolio).

You will:

• Book onto a scheduled Gym Instructor Live Virtual Clinic according to the study option you enrolled on (Full Time or Part Time). The Full Time study option runs Monday to Friday for one week. The Part Time study option runs over five consecutive scheduled Saturdays (Part Time Saturdays option) or Sundays (Part Time Sundays option). View dates.

• Participate in the Gym Instructor Live Virtual Clinic you booked onto. You’ll perform various training and assessments during this five-day clinic and also finish your portfolio. All practical assessments bar one are completed on clinic. For the practical assessment not completed on clinic, you will instead film it in a professional fitness environment, for example, a fitness centre, for which you’ll need one apparently healthy client.
