Amac offer a two entry-level qualifications to allow you to gain employment in a fitness role and a gym instructor. You should consider your personal competencies and your future goals.
Gym Instructor
This is the more popular of the two L2 fitness qualifications as it is the prerequisite to anyone looking to become a Personal Trainer and progress on to the L3 Certificate in Personal Training. If this is your goal we usually suggest gaining your L2 and L3 qualifications together as a Level 3 Diploma in Personal Training (Includes Gym Instructor) especially if you wish to fast-track your progress. Amac’s Personal Trainer Career Package is the most cost-effective way to gain this Diploma and includes courses from Amac’s PROfusion Range, which will enhance your PT portfolio, as well as a free NUS Extra discount card and free annual CIMSPA membership.
With a L2 Certificate in Fitness Instructing (Gym) you can gain work in a gym environment as a Gym Instructor. To increase your employability you can then complete ‘add on’ CPD certificates. Options include High Intensity Interval Training, Combat Fitness, Kettlebell Training, Circuit Design & Delivery, Rope Training and Sandbag Training. You can then run your own group exercise classes and have a competitive portfolio.
