If you're keen to start or advance your career in fitness instruction and personal training, Norfolk County Council Adult Education offers a range of courses run by trained professionals.

Courses range from qualifications courses that are an ideal starting point for people who are into fitness and looking to qualify for a change of career, to short courses designed to increase the skills levels of existing fitness professionals.

As a starting point in the industry, Norfolk County Council Adult Education offers a Level 3 Diploma in fitness instructing and personal training.

For learners who already have a Level 2 Certificate in gym instruction, there is a shorter Level 3 Certificate in personal training course. Both of these courses will qualify students as personal trainers.
