Really enjoyed my L2 & L3. The team were all really helpful and guidance was great throughout. My practical assessment for L3 was totally worth the journey rather than trying to submit a video. My assessor, Chris Walsh, was so friendly & helpful and completely eased my nerves, making it an enjoyable experience. Thank you!

Very quick and easy induction process, all done through the web site. The site provides clear info and can't wait to start the course.

I have recently completed my L2 and L3 personal trainer certifications with Study Active. I really appreciate the support I received throughout my studies, the team, Eileen and my tutor Kelly-Anne were there to guide me through the learning process, which was tremendous help to ensure that I complete my tasks, meet all respective deadlines, and be prepared for my exams. The Study Active team is very professional, and I'd highly recommend it!

I am so glad I picked study active as my provider. The instructors where brilliant and always there to help also I want to thank the funding department due to some personal issues and being ex military I used my ELCs to fund the course which meant I had only 13 months to complete it but I explained my situation and I completed my course past my deadline. Thank you to Louise , Rebecca and Eileen .

Extremely happy with my experience. Tutors are amazing, so supportive and know their information.
I was absolutely dreading doing a PT course, but doing this with Study Active, I knew I’d get the support I needed, felt safe, peace of mind and confident.
Due to the extent of the course material, I knew I would become a professional. This already reflects in my PTs and I can tell the difference between myself being qualified by StudyActive and other PTs who have used other learning providers.
Out of all the courses I’ve done across a variety of learning providers, I actually enjoyed this course and was so happy with what I was learning. So glad I chose to do this with you.
In the past month, I have confidently set-up my PT business and already earned £680 in 2 weeks through block bookings. Yes this is due to my personal qualities too, but without doing this course, I'd have no idea.
I've also had an interview for an amazing gym, presented my business plan, which I created on the course with study active, but adapted the aims to reflect the new gym and they were absolutely amazed by the quality and depth of my plan and are using this as an example to their currently employed PTs.
Make the right decision, make that extra effort, dont be a lazy PT that wants to just get qualified, get qualified by the best training provider, not cop-out ones. I've seen the difference in the quality of my training compared to PTs that have used other training providers and I'm flying above them.
Thank you so much.

A great assessment with Colin today. He was clear, concise about what to expect and what I needed to demonstrate for the assessment.
The feedback about my practice was really useful. It gave me confidence to compete the final assessment.
Many thanks Colin.

I recently completed my Level 2 & 3 Personal Training Diploma with StudyActive, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the experience. The course content was comprehensive and well-structured, providing me with a solid foundation in all theoretical aspects of personal training. The ActiveIQ portal was easy to use and StudyActive provide lots of extra learning materials. The mentors were knowledgeable, supportive, and always available to answer any questions. There was a 10 business day turn around for marking which felt long but other companies might be longer. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to pursue a career in personal training! As per the other reviews, Chris Walsh was my assessor and he was absolutely amazing, made me comfortable straight away and had a knowledgable but empathetic approach.

I've just completed my Level 2 Gym Instructor course with Study Active (I passed!) and will be heading straight into my Level 3 PT course. At all times the tutors have been quick to reply, and incredibly helpful.
On the day of my assessment, the assessor Chris Walsh was personable, friendly and really made me feel at ease. Any nerves I had just disappeared.
I'd really recommend them.

Reply from Study Active
Very quick to respond to any queries. Thorough course. Chris (at the assessment centre) was fantastic, really put me at ease when doing the practical assessment.

I decided to do my level 3 personal training after researching many companies. They were very helpful throughout my training, always responded to calls and emails promptly and took the time to give thorough explanations when needed.
