How it works
Numbers, sites and any deadlines — an audit, a new contract or a certificate about to lapse.
We recommend the right course and confirm dates, group sizes and a fixed price.
Training runs at your premises, around your rota, with everything we need brought with us.
Learners receive their certificates, and we remind you before anything expires.
Questions
Anything else, just call us on 0151 558 1470.
Do I need any qualifications to start?
No formal entry requirements. Some gym and free-weights experience helps, along with enough fitness to take part in practical sessions.
Is it recognised by employers?
Active IQ qualifications are endorsed by CIMSPA, the sector's chartered body, and Level 2 is the standard requirement for gym floor roles.
What comes next?
Level 3 personal training. Many learners take the combined gym instructing and personal training route instead, which covers both.
Where is it delivered?
Fitness qualifications run at a venue with gym facilities rather than on a client site — talk to us about dates and locations.
