Having qualified in 2007 and 17 years before industry standards were even a thought. I decided to re qualify to ensure my career would last as long as possible. As a personal trainer for 17 years before doing this course. I was really surprised how much much I learned and how much I enjoyed the content and my bussiness is in its peak currently. That is because I think my background knowledge has hugely improved and been backed up. Josh and apex go above and beyond to to help and I’d reccomend this course to any new starter to spring board your careers
