Level 5 Personal Trainer Courses

Prices for our Level 5 courses start at just €949. All of our courses are available with flexible, 0% interest payment plans. We also offer packages which include multiple advanced qualifications at a discounted rate when booked together.

We believe courses and education should be obtainable and affordable for anyone who wants to start a career within the fitness sector, which is why our prices are cheaper than providers of other Level 5 PT courses. We also do not apply unnecessary admin fees, certification charges or exam fees that many of our competitors apply.

Some of the post-course support services available to our level 5 personal trainer students include mock job interviews, as well as CV optimisation and distribution to our partners within your local area.

If your goal is to start or expand your own personal training business, we can also provide you with a range of free business and marketing resources to set you up for the best possible start in the industry. Our dedicated post-course support team can even offer free business consultations!

At OriGym, we also have a huge student alumni system made up of over 250 brands. As an OriGym graduate, you’ll be able to get discounts on career essentials such as software and equipment from some of the world’s largest fitness brands and services.

The only perquisite that applies to all our Level 5 fitness courses is that students must be aged 16+ in order to enrol. Other than that, you’ll need to meet different requirements depending on what you wish to study.

For example, in order to enrol on our Lower Back Pain Management, Diabetes Control, and Obesity & Weight Management courses respectively, you’ll need to hold a Level 4 Personal Training qualification or an equivalent such as a Level 4 Exercise Referral certification.

Whereas there are no prior qualification prerequisites for our Level 5 Nutrition for Sport and Exercise course.

All of our Level 5 qualifications for personal trainers are regulated by Ofqual and awarded by Focus Awards, one of the industry’s leading awarding bodies. This guarantees our qualifications are fully recognised by all fitness industry employers and professionals in Ireland and abroad.

Once you’re qualified as a Level 5 personal trainer you will be able to pursue numerous advanced career opportunities. For example, with this training under your belt, you will be able to work with clients in specialist populations such as those with medical requirements such as diabetes or obesity.

In addition to this, if you’re a self-employed personal trainer you will be able to begin marketing yourself as an ‘expert’ in a particular field. Consequently, you can then charge increased fees for your expertise in said area.

As an OriGym student, you’ll receive continuous support throughout your qualification. Should you ever require assistance, our team of expert tutors will be on hand 7 days a week (including evenings) to answer any of your questions or queries via phone, email or chatbox.

As all our Level 5 fitness qualifications are studied exclusively via our custom-built eLearning platform, we’ve also packed each module with valuable resources to ensure you receive the best possible education. Whilst studying you will be able to access the likes of interactive quizzes, ebooks, online lectures, virtual training manuals and so much more.

In addition to this, all our Level 5 qualifications are entirely self-paced with unlimited free resits and no deadlines to meet. This allows you to work at your own pace, as and when you have time.

All of OriGym’s Level 5 Personal Training courses require you to complete online assessments that will be submitted via our virtual learning platform. The only qualification with a mandatory practical assessment is our course in Lower Back Pain Management course.

Students enrolled on this qualification will complete their practical assessment at one of OriGym’s many training venues, located in cities across the UK

The duration of your Level 5 Personal Trainer course depends on the frequency of your studying. This is because these courses are self-paced with no deadlines, meaning you can work through the content and assignments as quickly or slowly as you like.

On average, students take 10 weeks to complete the Lower Back Pain Management, Obesity & Weight Management and the Diabetic Control & Weight Management courses.

Whereas those on our Level 5 Sports Nutrition Course takes an average of 12 weeks to complete.
