This course is designed to be as flexible as possible. You’ll have up to 24 months to complete the entire course and for the practical components, there are 3 delivery modes to choose from:

- Mentor of Your Choice – if you already know a Personal Trainer, AIPT could approve them to be your Mentor to guide you through the practical components of the course.
In all three modes, you’ll complete theory components online in your own time. And no matter which delivery option you choose, you’ll be guaranteed high-quality course materials and training to help you launch your personal trainer career with a bang!
