Premier Training International has joined forces with the Association of Accounting Technicians (AAT) to create a new online course focusing on the business aspects of personal training.

Premier, which specialises in providing high quality education for the health and fitness industry, is targeting the “running a successful PT business” course at graduates of Premier courses and industry professionals who are currently running or aspiring to run their own personal training business.

The UK course will explore subjects such as VAT, cashflow and budgeting to provide participants with the “sound business knowledge” needed to run a personal training company.

Debra Stuart, CEO of Premier Global, said: “We know more and more people are keen to develop their knowledge, skills and expertise in running a successful PT business. The new course offers graduates the core financial knowledge to really control and grow their business.”

The qualification is nationally accredited through Active IQ and fully recognised by employers and the Register of Exercise Professionals (REPs).

“With many graduates already committed to client appointments and class instruction, this flexible online course offers the perfect learning solution,” Stuart added.

“It allows learners to progressively advance their individual careers and business, without impacting upon the client base and work that they already have.”
