The RQF Level 3 Diploma in Personal Training and Nutrition offers an in-depth, practical, and evidence-based approach to personal fitness coaching and nutritional guidance. This course is designed to build core competencies in anatomy, exercise physiology, client assessment, and training programme design, while also integrating essential knowledge of nutrition and lifestyle factors that influence health and performance. Learners gain the ability to conduct thorough consultations, screen clients for health risks, and design safe and effective training sessions tailored to individual goals.

Beyond technical fitness knowledge, the course also provides a detailed understanding of macronutrients, energy balance, and hydration, helping future personal trainers to support clients with meal planning and supplementation based on unique needs. Learners also explore specialist topics such as working with special populations, adapting plans for different fitness levels, and managing health conditions within the exercise context. Importantly, the course prepares students to address behaviour change, goal setting, and motivational strategies to enhance client outcomes.

Professional practice modules introduce key elements of working in the fitness industry, including legal responsibilities, client data protection, insurance, and self-employment. Learners will also build practical business skills in marketing, budgeting, and client relationship management, ensuring they can operate successfully either independently or within gyms and wellness centres. By the end of the course, graduates are prepared to enter the fitness industry with confidence, equipped to support clients both physically and nutritionally.
