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 Level 2 first?
For the Level 3 diploma route, yes. Active IQ also offers combined and extended routes that take beginners through to personal trainer without a separate Level 2 qualification first — we'll advise which fits.
How long does it take?
It depends on the route and how quickly you build your portfolio of evidence. We'll set out a realistic schedule when you enquire.
Is it recognised?
Active IQ Level 3 personal training qualifications are CIMSPA endorsed and are the standard employers and insurers look for.
