Course Information

This qualification provides a real opportunity to build on your personal qualities and develop the practical skills you will need to follow your passion in a truly rewarding career in which you will motivate and inspire others to change their lives. The Diploma is split into two distinct courses:

As part of the Level 3 Certificate in Personal Training, Premier is proud to offer you a unique opportunity to gain the skills necessary to train clients using both ViPR and Kettlebell equipment – these are both highly versatile and functional pieces of training equipment which are a must for the personal trainer looking to deliver the highest quality of service.

ViPR was created from a need to evolve training tools, foster purposeful motion and blend strength training with functional training and movement. VIPR has had a huge impact on the UK and US fitness arenas over the last 18 months and is now a key part of the fitness provision in most of the major UK corporate gyms.

Kettlebells are one of the oldest types of training equipment dating back to the 18th century. More recently the fitness industry has experienced a resurgence in Kettlebell training by men and women the world over to improve physical fitness; the main advantage being that it incorporates both strength and cardiovascular exercise often leading to superior results over other training equipment. Upon completion of this course, you will receive an internationally recognised health and fitness qualification.

The insights provided by the Diploma will also give you a clear view of how you would like to progress within the health and fitness industry. You will be able to discover your particular strengths and direct your career in line with this knowledge. This will put you in the best possible position to identify future areas of study and employment in order for you to achieve career success and fulfilment.
