A few words from our Students
“I’ve always wanted to be a PT. I began studying [with NAPTP] straight out of college. Some parts of the course were easier than others but I received so much help from my tutor and certified a few months later."
Josh Mitchell
"My time with NAPTP has been excellent. The genuine advice and reassurance from my tutor made a huge difference to my confidence along the way. Getting started after certifying felt seamless and I picked up my first client on day one!"
Emma Rose
A little embarressed to say - but I’d been coaching friends informally for years and lacked credibility. Getting certified properly with NAPTP gave me the launchpad I needed to make a serious career out of Personal Training.
Nathan Jones
"As a mum returning to work, I needed flexibility. Studying online at my own pace meant I could qualify while balancing family life. I am so pleased to have finally pursued my passion and gateful to NAPTP for making it possible"
