What past students are saying
I’ve recently completed the Level 2 Gym instructor course with Fitnesscoursesmalta.com and have been completely satisfied with the standard of training and assessment given. Both tutors, namely Gillian and Celine have been simply outstanding throughout the entire course. The manuals and learning material were of high quality. Would definitely recommend this course to anyone who would like to pursue a career in the fitness industry!
Christopher Calleja
Gillian and Celine – Professional approach, always supportive and ready to help you out during your studies. Looking forward to sit for the Personal Training course in February next year. Great experience!!
Duncan Abdilla
The tutors are so helpful and supportive that they felt more like friends by the end of the course! There is a large amount of information to get through but the tutors do a great job of teaching it efficiently in a short period of time. There was a good mixture of both theory and practical work. After my experience I highly recommend them as a company to complete any fitness qualifications.

Additional info and terms:
We offer courses in the following: Level 2 Aerobic instructor course/exercise to music, Level 2 Gym instructor course and Level 3 personal trainer course. If this is your first course in fitness, you will have to start by sitting one of the level 2 courses, either in gym instruction or aerobic instruction before sitting for the personal trainer course which is a level 3 course.
Therefore, unless you hold a recognised certification in a level 2 course, you will have to acquire this before applying for the level 3 in personal training. No pre-requisite is required to sit the level 2 courses, but experience in the gym or attending fitness classes will benefit all students.
Duration:
All courses run for approximately 16 weeks.
Qualification equivalent
UK level 2 course = MQF (Malta Qualifications Framework) level 3
UK level 3 course = MQF (Malta Qualifications Framework) Level 4
Level 2 courses hold 24 credits
Level 3 courses hold 36 credits
Process of teaching:
All theoretical work is taught in a class-room setting and will include power-point presentations to assist learning. Class participation and working in pairs or groups is expected and encouraged. Discussion is also encouraged and is considered an important part of the learning process.
Most practical sessions will be held in the appropriate environment (gym/studio or classroom), depending on the particular subject. Health & safety must be adhered to at all times.
Assessment methods:
Each learner is required to create a portfolio of evidence which demonstrates achievement of all the learning outcomes and assessment criteria associated with each unit. The main pieces of evidence for the portfolio could include;
➢ Observed work
➢ Witness statements
➢ Audio- visual media
➢ Evidence of prior learning or attainment
➢ Written questions
➢ Oral questions
➢ Assignments
➢ Case studies
All evidence must be cross referenced to unit outcomes, simulation is not allowed in all units.
Pass Rates:
In order to obtain a pass rate for any of the courses, it is necessary to complete the Learner Achievement portfolio and obtain 100%.
The portfolio will be completed throughout the course as units are covered and learners will be able to make amendments to the portfolio after the tutor has corrected and given feedback. Once the learner demonstrates knowledge of each unit by completing the portfolio, they will obtain a pass mark
Learners will also need to pass a practical assessment. The learner will have to plan a training session for a client and execute the session while being assessed.
Both practical and theoretical assessments need to be completed in order for the learner to obtain a pass.

As part of your assessment you will need to complete a LAP (Learner achievement portfolio) which consists of researching and answering a number of questions for each of the units covered on the course. You will also need to sit a practical assessment. Unlike other courses, we offer extensive practical sessions as part of the course and therefore, although you are required to practice on your own, the course does not oblige you to officially spend a stipulated number of hours actually working in a gym. If you have the opportunity to do this, it would be beneficial for you, but you will be taught proper technique on all gym equipment during the practical sessions of the course. You will also be required to prepare a gym session for a particular participant and therefore you will need to practice with this participant prior to your practical examination. This will apply if you are sitting for the gym course. The course verifier will be in Malta some time in June or July to oversee the smooth running of the practical assessments and to represent the awarding body. All our courses lead to certification and are recognised internationally. Successful students are also eligible to apply to have their name on eREPs (register of exercise professionals) Which is a European register of qualified professionals in the fitness field. The exercise to music course will qualify you to teach fitness classes and the gym instructor course, to work in a gym as a qualified gym instructor. Should you wish to apply for either of these courses, you may download the application form from this site and contact us via e-mail for prices and payment options. Should you require any further information, please do not hesitate to contact us or checkout our web page or our Facebook page.
