Comment on SO YOU WANT TO BE A PT ? by George D. Choy —Gymnacity

Hi Isabel
I’m a Personal Trainer and have taken a number of courses, with many different providers. What I’d recommend you do is go onto the REPs website and search for courses, so that you can make sure the course you’re thinking about would be recognised by REPs (assuming you wish to become a member). That gives you some reassurance.

At the end of the day, if a course by one provider qualifies you to teach say kettlebells, then whichever provider you chose, you will be qualified to teach kettlebells afterwards. Sometimes the number of REPs points are higher with one provider, versus another, which usually indicates a slightly longer and more in-depth course.

The choices I’ve made for courses in the past have usually come down to a variety of factors, such as timing (if I could only attend a certain date), location (preferably close to my home…although I did travel 2 hours for one of my courses), price, and what I read about the way they delivered the course on the suppliers website. Some do everything online, others have training in-person.
Hope that helps.
George
