FAQ
How long does it take to become certified?
You’ll have 12 weeks after your final face-to-face day to complete theory, practice hours, and assessments. Most students need 6–9 hours per week if starting from that point, but enrolling early allows you to spread the load, complete theory in advance, and make practical days smoother.
What is the course structure?
Our program combines self-paced online theory (16 modules) with hands-on practical training (in person or via Zoom). You’ll also complete apprentice hours and submit final assessments to graduate fully prepared.
What is covered in the online modules?
You’ll study anatomy, biomechanics, cueing, injury modifications, prenatal/postnatal, programming, and professional practice everything you need to feel confident in the studio.
Why hybrid learning?
We blend online and in-person (or Zoom) training so you get the best of both worlds flexible, digestible theory plus live, hands-on teaching with direct feedback.
What makes this training different?
Unlike many providers, we’re physiotherapist-led and internationally recognised. We focus on the “why,” not just the “what,” preparing you for all clients — from athletes to rehab.
Is online training really as effective as in-person?
Yes. Zoom students receive the same level of coaching, interaction, and feedback as those who attend face-to-face.
What are apprentice teaching hours?
These are structured hours of self-practice, observation, and practice teaching designed to build your confidence and real teaching experience before graduating.
What assessments are required?
You’ll submit written plans and practical teaching videos. Assessments are marked by studio owners and educators, with detailed feedback and up to three attempts included.
Can I teach overseas after graduating?
Yes our qualifications are globally recognised. Many graduates go on to teach while travelling or relocating abroad.
What happens if I fail an assessment?
You’ll receive clear feedback and can resubmit up to three times at no cost. If more support is needed, you can book a 1:1 intensive session with an educator.
Do I get course access after I graduate?
Yes you’ll have access to all online content from enrolment through to 12 weeks post last practical day.
How much personal feedback will I get?
Plenty. Our max ratio is 1:10 in practical training, plus direct feedback during assessments and ongoing access to educators via email and portal messaging.
What tech do I need for Zoom practicals?
A stable internet connection, webcam, and a setup that clearly shows you and your apparatus. If your internet drops, you can rejoin immediately.
What is the refund policy?
All enrolments are final and non-refundable due to limited spots. Transfers may be possible only before course access begins, in genuine emergencies.
Are there any hidden fees?
No hidden costs. Optional extras include printed manuals, intensive coaching, or makeup sessions if you miss a practical day.
Can I switch between online and in-person?
Yes if there’s space in your preferred intake, you can change formats mid-course.
Your Next Step
Spaces are limited for each intake to keep trainer-to-student ratios low.
