Advanced Fitness & Bodybuilding Trainer Course

Have you ever thought about beginning a career as a Personal Trainer or Weight training specialist?

Perhaps you have ambitions to coordinate a fitness and weight training room or even be the owner or director of a health club? If the answer is "Yes!" then you need to subscribe to our exclusive training course.

As an affiliated National Federation to the IFBB, we are proud to offer the 'Advanced Fitness & Bodybuilding Trainer Specialist Certification Course' (created by the IFBB Educational Commission). The course program is designed to be run online and is available for purchase through our shop. To register your interest in the course, please email us at education@ukbff.co.uk. This is a dedicated email address for you to use if you have any questions about the course.

After your subscription and payment, we send the course modules to the e-mail account that you supply us. After studying the course material, you will be ready to complete the 'evaluation' (supplied on request), which is simply series of multiple choice questions designed to test your knowledge and understanding of the module you have been studying (you will need spreadsheet software in order to complete this - available for free from www.openoffice.org).

Each theme (or chapter) begins with a “Chapter Outline” and ends with study questions that help the student to retain the acquired knowledge and to prepare for the final evaluation of each module. Each evaluation is sent via e-mail to the student, who answers the questions, saves the file and then emails it back to the UKBFF. 50% of the questions from each evaluation need to be answered correctly in order to receive the cartificate (issued by the IFBB).
