In terms of face-to-face learning, this course also involves expert-led practical workshops where you can get hands-on experience and put your learning into practice.
Careers & Progression
Becoming a qualified teacher and assessor means that you will be able work in a range of vocational education institutions, such as reputable course providers like ourselves!
In terms of how you can progress and develop your career, keep in mind you’re only able to teach and assess on courses you’ve personally completed.
Therefore if you’re looking to progress your career you will need to acquire specialist Level 4 Personal Trainer Qualification, or branch into a new discipline with OriGym’s Sports Massage courses or Yoga Teacher Training courses.
You won’t need insurance to secure any roles as a teacher or assessor, but employers will usually require a clear DBS certificate.
Will I Need to Have Completed Other Courses Before Starting the Fitness Teacher and Assessor Course?
There are no prerequisites to enrol on the course as you’ll be learning skills to plan and deliver other people’s learning. However, you can only teach on a course you’re qualified in so you may need to complete further personal trainer qualifications in order to teach them.
Due to the hybrid nature of it, you can finish the Fitness Teaching and Assessing course in your own time. How long it will take you will just depend on how quickly you move through the online learning materials!
However, on average the Fitness Tutor and Assessor course takes 8 weeks to complete.
You’ll qualify with both a teaching qualification and an assessor qualification meaning you’ll learn all of the practical skills to deliver lessons and mark and evaluate people’s assessments.
You’ll learn practical skills for lessons and assessments, making them safe and exclusive. You’ll also learn all the knowledge you’ll need of the legalities, roles, and responsibilities of an educational environment.

Testimonials
Ashley Boyd
Really enjoyed my course especially the workshops!
My experience completing the gym instructor course with origym has been fantastic, I really felt supported throughout, the workshops where brilliant and I really enjoyed them, it really helped me to feel prepared for my assessment. The tutors are great and really make you feel at ease.
Dean Dallas
Personal TrainerThank you for such a wonderful experience!
Before OriGym Dean was pursuing a career in football. After setbacks due to injury, Dean developed an interest in strength and conditioning and injury prevention, pivoting his career into becoming a qualified personal trainer.
OriGym really stood out to me because I was able to complete my Level 2 Gym Instructor and Level 3 Personal Trainer qualifications in my own time without deadlines. This really took the stress off and allowed me to go about my daily schedule without interruption.
The tutors at OriGym created a great support network and provided us with practical workshops to further our development. I am now a certified personal trainer and can’t wait to help future clients in achieving their goals!
Guy Thompson
Former Leicester & Wasps Rugby PlayerBefore studying with OriGym, Guy was a professional Ruby player for both Wasps and Leicester Tigers and is currently playing for Eailing. Guy chose to complete his fitness qualifications with OriGym as the option to study around his career via online learning and OriGym looked the most "simple and professional" compared to other providers.
After being in and around professional sport for 13 years, this is a natural progression after learning from World Leading S&C coaches. Becoming a personal trainer will allow me to implement this knowledge for helping people and helping people achieve their goals away from sport. I'd really want to focus on helping people in their everyday lives through both mental and physical wellbeing.
OriGym's tutors have been excellent, with great feedback and the content is perfect for someone looking to get started in the industry.

I have had such a wonderful experience with Origym. I started and completed my Level 2 Gym Instructor theory within lockdown and passed my practical after lockdown. The Origym tutors were super helpful with feedback on work. Also, the programme design had lots of information and I could work at my own pace!
