Therefore, we’re not leaving you all to yourself during our Personal Trainer Course. We have a closed Facebook Support Group to provide you with answers when you need them, guide you through our course, and keep everything in the same spot so you can always look it up.
There is a good reason why we’re still using Facebook Groups to do that. It is simple to use, organized and allows us to dedicate our support with precision. This is a huge advantage compared to unorganized Whatsapp group chats where you and we can easily lose sight of what’s important.
Our main goal is always Quality. The FB Support group allows us to teach you about valuable systems for group handling and serves as a showcase for your future group support tools.
Ok - What about Nutrition coaching, is it really included?
Yes, it is!
This is something the team insisted on doing. Nutrition and Training are so interlaced that we are 100% sure about the importance of including this in our PTBA Personal Training course.
Our Head of Nutrition, Dr. Leon Bedrac (in the picture here), is a superb scientist and deals with clients through his regular Nutrition Coaching. You’ll get more than just a fundamental understanding of nutrition. We aim to provide an Applied approach to your coaching and prepare you for the many problems your client will face.
With this part of our Personal Trainer Course, you’ll become a true Fitness Ninja who is unbeatable on the gym floor and off of it.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Why do I even need a personal trainer certification if I've been training in the gym for many years?
2. What do I get with the PTBA personal trainer course, and what qualification Level is it?
Depending on the current offer, you may also receive access to the PTBA Nutrition Coaching Certification.
3. Does the PTBA personal trainer certification really include a Nutrition Coaching course?
Yes, our special offers (not all of them) include the PTBA Nutrition Coaching Certification. Personal Training and Nutrition are so interlaced that we rarely offer our Personal Training Certification without including Nutrition Coaching. In our opinion, it is essential to understand the client’s journey in its entirety, and this can only be achieved through solid education in both fields—Training and Nutrition.
4. What is the price, and can the payment be split into installments?
The price is provided in the section above and will depend on the option you choose, your timing (we have discounts for early-bird sign-ups), and region. The PTBA is an international provider, and pricing varies due to local legislation, requirements, and taxation.
We have partnered with Tabby to offer payment plans. Through Tabby, you can choose a payment plan. If, for any reason, you are unable to use Tabby, please book a free consultation call, and we will work to find a suitable solution for you.
5. When do I get my private access to the PTBA learning portal?
Your access to all learning materials, including video lectures and our support groups, will be granted to you within 24 hours after we receive your payment. The PTBA manually checks every application and payment before granting you full access. Some materials will be available immediately after a successful payment, while other parts, including access to support and additional features, may be delayed for up to 24 hours during working days.
6. What language are the learning materials available in, and is the PTBA Certification Accredited?
The learning and study materials are available in English, German, Arabic, and Slovene. As we expand globally, additional languages may be added to our portfolio. The materials you will be able to access online will be in English, and so will be the video lectures. Some of the lectures have been translated into Arabic, and therefore, Arabic subtitles are available. Please ask your designated PTBA mentor for assistance if you need further help with the language.
The PTBA International Personal Trainer Certification is accredited by Reps UAE and the European Register of Exercise Professionals (EREPS). We are bound to our internal standards, which are higher than the required standards of various Accreditation Bodies. Nevertheless, we decided to obtain accreditation from these Accreditation Bodies, recognizing the importance of both theoretical knowledge and practical skills that must be acquired through a Personal Training Certification. Our accreditations enable you to provide your services in more than 40 countries worldwide.
7. How much time do I have to invest into the Certification Process?
Essentially, the time investment will depend on the individual’s learning style and study abilities. We’ve seen students who were fast learners, and we have experienced students who need more time to study. Both groups achieved equally high levels in our theory and practical exams.
Here is a breakdown of the hours we have predicted for the PTBA International Personal Fitness Trainer Certification:
– Guided Learning Hours for Theory (lectures): 70-90 hours (depending on your sign-up date and Live Q&A sessions)
– Guided Learning Hours (practical workshops): 48 – 60 hours (depending on the chosen option)
– Self learning hours (reading of course materials): +100 hours (this depends on the individual)
*In addition to that, you can add possible extra support that we may provide. Not included in the price.
8. What is the timetable for the entire PTBA certification, and what are the attendance requirements to take the final exams?
The timetable for the entire Certification Process depends on the course option you choose.
- Bonus Live Lecture (via Zoom): Friday before the start of practical workshops
- Practical Workshops: 3 weekends (Saturday & Sunday, 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM), in-person at a partner gym
- Bonus Live Lectures: Held during the week between practical weekends (via Zoom)
- Final Exam: Held on the last day of the final practical weekend
- Watching all video lectures is required and counts as participation (monitored via our learning portal)
- 100% attendance at practical workshops is required. If you miss up to one full day, you can book a 1:1 make-up session at an extra cost of 350 AED per hour. More than one missed day requires retaking the practical part at the next available course.
Occasionally, we offer our 100% Live Lecture courses that span either across 14 consecutive days (the 14-DAY INTENSIVE CERTIFICATION – 1x annually), or across the full 7 weeks of Live Lectures and Live Workshops. We offer this option as a SPECIAL OFFER every once in a while, and it will be clearly marked on our webpage.
7-WEEK 100% LIVE COURSE OUTLINE
Part 1 – 4 weeks of Theory:
– Saturday + Sunday 9 am – 5 pm, and Friday 6 pm – 9 pm Live Lectures (may be offered as Video-On-Demand Lectures)
