This is one of our most frequently asked questions and the simple answer is no. It continues to be incredibly concerning that time and time again we hear of other fitness training providers offering guaranteed interviews and jobs that simply turn out to be self-employed positions. Qualified trainers in these situations can often end up struggling to make ends meet because they're paying considerable weekly or monthly rent to work in a club before they've even secured their first client.
To shed a bit more light on these practices, we've produced a guide to guaranteed interviews and jobs for personal trainers that is very much worth a read.
Instead of engaging in the practice of guaranteed interviews, we've created CV Connect. This is a game-changing new way to connect employers with newly qualified personal trainers. As soon as you complete your personal trainer course, a new section in LES (Learner Engagement System) is unlocked.
It's here that you're able to upload your CV (featuring your brand new qualification, of course), search for employers in your area and apply directly. It really is that simple and straightforward. We've cut out recruitment agencies and any other hoops or barriers that could get in the way, nothing should stop you from securing your dream job.
To date, we're closing in on nearly a thousand active vacancies from some of the UK's biggest and most prestigious employers including UP Fitness, Pure Gym, Fitness First, Your Personal Training, DW and JD Gyms.
If you're keen to take things into your own hands then we have resources available for starting a personal training business. This article features some exclusive insights from one of the UK's most successful trainers, Matt Roberts. Matt has exclusive premises in London and he's trained politicians, film stars, fashion designers and athletes. So, there's no doubt he very much knows what he's talking about.
