Why students love our courses
Laura Mullaney
“I recently qualified as a Gym instructor + Personal trainer with Uni learning and it was honestly one of my best decisions that I’ve ever made.
The Personal Training Diploma ticked those boxes for me as I could work this around my own schedule and study online. The tutors are incredibly kind and helpful and responded very quickly to any questions that I had related to coursework or examinations.
I loved that I could do this course at home at my own pace as a busy mother of two. It took that extra pressure off and allowed me to complete in my own time as stress free as possible.
I am now enrolled on my next course which is to become a Pre and Post-natal fitness specialist which I’m very excited about!
Thank you so much for everything. I am now a proudly qualified PT & coach and doing what I love "
James Crossey
“I really enjoyed my time doing my Diploma in Personal Training! The structure of the courses made it very easy to understand and progress through them and I liked how I could complete it at my own pace as I was working a 9-5.
After completing the course I’ve been hired as a fitness instructor in Better Gym and I couldn’t be happier as I’m one step closer to my dream career!
Will definitely be staying with Uni Learning to do the Strength and Conditioning and progress my career even further.”
Paul Cahalane
“I reached my goals as I recently qualified as a personal trainer with Uni Learning. I’m so happy I made this decision.
Working two jobs and a very very busy schedule. Having a passion in the fitness industry, the gym was my escape so I wanted to take this interest and passion further when a friend of mine recommended Uni Learning. This suited me very much so as it’s online and very flexible it worked around my schedule, not me working around it.
Everyone at the Uni Learning team was very approachable, very pleasant and helpful and always there to answer any questions related to the course. This always helps a lot, I couldn’t recommend more.
Again, all I can say is if you have an interest and go for it, you won’t regret it.”
