Introducing Sport981 and the exclusively designed NASM Certified Personal Trainer (level 2&3 combined) enhanced course

The personal training industry is highly competitive and to be successful you have to stand out with the knowledge and practical skills to successfully launch your career. You will need to build a client list and become recognised as an expert in your field. That process starts with choosing the right course and the right training partner.

Sport981 has been working with elite athletes through professional clubs and national governing bodies to create championship winning and medal winning teams and individuals since 2004.

Recognised as one of the UK’s leading authorities in strength and conditioning training and performance coaching, the team at Sport981 also offer a limited number of places each year to motivated individuals looking to excel in the world of personal training.

Our courses include the globally recognised NASM CPT and run just three times a year, allowing a maximum of 20 students per intake. Places are open to anyone with a passion for fitness, learning and a determination to join a select and elite group of PTs that graduate with Sport981 and go on to achieve significant personal and professional success.

A training provider’s success is aligned to both the quality of the courses they deliver and the quality of their tutors. Sport981’s tutors represent some of the UK’s leading strength and conditioning and fitness practioners. This guarantees the highest possible standards of coaching and support for all our students throughout each of our three exclusive course intakes.

The quality of the courses we deliver matches the quality of our tutors. The NASM CPT is already regarded as the gold standard in PT courses but the enhanced course has been designed by Sport981 to extend the standard content and, in effect double not only the practical components of the course, but the contact time with tutors as well as the number of strength and conditioning modules, bespoke and exclusive to Sport981.

The strength and conditioning workshops and modules included in the ‘extended educational package’ provide the foundation knowledge and core principals of S&C that forms the basis for the methodology behind how Sport981 trains its champion athletes.

This same strength and conditioning knowledge is now becoming an essential part of the every successful PT’s toolkit, but is rarely included in any standard level 3 PT qualification. The strength and conditioning modules included as part of the course are:

–          Effective force transference
–          Compound lifts
–          Movement essentials
–          Performance preparation

The NASM CPT enhanced course created by Sport981 provides a unique and compelling programme for those coaches who are passionate about getting results for their clients and wish to excel in their career. Completing this course will ensure that by the end of the summer you will be amongst the most highly qualified and knowledgeable level 3 personal trainers in the UK.

With only 20 places available on our summer course and at the competitive cost of just £2950, please read the remaining information and apply today as places will sell out.
