Can you be a personal trainer without a certification?
It’s a common question. So, can you be a PT without a qualification? It's really risky business. Right now, there aren’t currently aren’t any compulsory national licensing requirements in relation to Personal Trainer required qualifications, it’s generally very frowned upon. This could change at any time.
Without being qualified you'll have a rough time finding work, especially from gyms and leisure centres. Even if you’re looking to go freelance or work online, clients will still want to know that their trainer has been thoroughly educated in the field in order to give them reasurrences they’re in good hands.
Also, you’re going to have a really hard time getting liability insurance without a Personal Training qualification. This insurance gives you some protection if a client gets hurt in one of your classes. And being sued isn’t exactly a fun time! Getting qualified relieves you of all these burdens that you definitely won’t want to get saddled down with!
Can I become a Personal Trainer by only learning online?
Sure! With us at The Training Room, we offer an entirely E-Learning option to suit your learning needs. You still receive the same quality of learning and course content, just you’ll be learning from your own home instead of a classroom.
