Once you have taken your Level 3 qualifications and are a qualified personal trainer you can start to think about what other courses you can do to make you stand out in the crowd. Although all these courses take time and money, it is a great way to be able to open up your client base and expand your knowledge.

Older Adults: If you have your Level 2 Certificate in Fitness Instructing or your Level 3 Certificate in Personal Training you can take the Level 3 Award in Designing Exercise Programmes for Older Adults.
