What the personal trainer fee covers
The Level 3 fee is for the course only. SSTA’s Business Hub website, business workshop and marketing advisor sessions are not included, so budget separately if you want them.
Assessment combines a knowledge assessment, an assignment, a case study, observation and questioning. Online study lets you fit the coursework around work in Reading; the in-person part is the assessment, and admissions tells you where and when it happens.
Reading FAQs
Is there a sports massage course in Reading?
Not from SSTA yet. People across Reading, Wokingham, Bracknell and Woodley can register interest, but this does not confirm a local group, venue or place.
Does the personal trainer course include insurance or a gym job?
No. The fee is for the course only, and no course can promise a job.
