Founded in 2009, PT Academy was, and still is, the only fitness education company to use active personal trainers as part of its expert delivery team. From the beginning, our philosophy has always been that our students learn best from qualified personal trainers. Personal trainers know exactly what it takes to grow a successful personal training business as they've done it themselves.
This firm belief has resulted in the development of our flagship learning method, the Flexi-Learner programme, where students are assigned an active personal trainer in their local region who guides them through their Level 2 and 3 personal trainer qualifications. The success of the Flexi-Learner method has meant that in just a few years our team has expanded.

I was awarded an internal certificate for my Level 3 course one year ago, and I have yet to receive the hard copy certificate from the external awarding body that would allow me to register with REPs. I have inquired several times over the past year, and (when I did get a reply) was either told that I would receive my certificate soon (no trace of it yet) or that the process had been delayed due to covid/external audits, etc. I am starting to lose hope that I will ever get my certificate! Avoid.
Update: I finally received my certificate last week. Still, based on my overall experience it would

Be aware if you are doing the Diamond Flexi package that a mentor is only provided for the Fitness Instructor and Personal Training part. After this it is self study from Exercise Referral onwards. I was informed this was because "as these are advanced courses students are expected to under take their own research and show initiative". The manual is poorly written and blood test figures are based on the American system of mg/dl rather than mmol/l which is used in the UK, as is the case study you are expected to do and the hypertension categories in the manual are for the USA and not for the UK

Awful! No tutor and covered in spelling mistakes. No one cares here, if you have a question, be prepared to wait four weeks for a reply. This is an awful company, everything is just copied from other websites. Only use this company if you want to do mindless busy work and not actually learn anything about personal training. They will take your money and barely give you a reply, if you ever wondered why there's so many bad personal trainers in the UK, look no further! Expect your qualification to come months after you have finished

The most horrifying experience, is one star because they don’t have less. Basically I booked a self study course and set a direct debit. Not being told what is in that. After I been like aggressively sold this program the chap was constantly saying so let’s get you started to any questions I had not quite answer to my questions and assuring me that is a good course. After I booked and paid and set up a direct debit I got a few emails and that was it they robbed me and they disappear. I got two backdated manuals with no connection to the questionnaire and when I ask support team for help they

AVOID!!! Once they have your money you do not exist. Poor service, badly written materials, PT's that either don't care or don't even contact you at all, (My assigned PT said she hadn't worked for them for months yet they continually told me that she was my tutor), zero chance of a refund and terrible customer care. Their former governing body even disassociated themselves from this company due to their lack of professionalism (Do your own research and you'll see for yourself). I feel it my duty to inform as many people as I can about this as they give the profession a very bad name. P.S They try
