There are multiple awarding bodies for fitness qualifications in the UK, and we offer fitness qualifications from several of them.
Focus Awards is a major awarding body that provides nationally recognised qualifications. They cover various sectors, including education, fitness, healthcare and safety to name but a few. If you’re looking to complete a fitness tutor course, choosing one that has a Focus Awards qualification is a great choice, because:
High standards
Qualifications provided by Focus Awards are recognised for their high standards. They’re regulated by Ofqal – the UK government’s regulation watchdog – so you can trust you’re getting a reliable education.
REPs certified
When you receive a qualification with Focus Awards, it makes you eligible for the Register for Exercise Professionals (REPs), which verifies the standard of your qualification.
Internationally recognised
Focus Awards qualifications are recognised in the UK and internationally, meaning anyone qualified has the freedom to work globally.
Flexible qualifications
Focus Awards qualifications can also be combined with qualifications from other awarding bodies, such as Active IQ and CYQ. So if you have an Active IQ level 2 gym instructor qualification, you can use that to move onto a Focus Awards personal training qualification.
Innovative resources
When you sign up for a Focus Awards course, you’ll get access to innovative learning resources and engaging content to underpin your knowledge and develop your skills and understanding in a practical way. They’re committed to ‘fit for purpose’ qualifications – as are we!
Broad range of topics
Focus Awards offer a broad range of fitness qualifications that allow you to develop your fitness career in a way that best suits your goals, skills and interests.
