*Edit*I have an email from a Jay George saying he would be my "point of contact" at any time, he was the one who sold me the contract but if he isnt a tutor then i was mislead to what i was being sold? I still have his email. Your answer is nothing that I did not expect. Your answer has only further proved my opinion of the course and company is correct. I was told at time of signing up I would have a personal tutor (Jay) for any queries or help as I was doing the course remotely, also that I'd have to do a "couple of videos" well! in over 4 months in I've not had any personal guidance on the course and so far I have 10 videos to do though I've seen in a previous review, train fitness deny this. Bearing in mind I'm just your average person with a gym membership, I don't have proper access to a proper environment in which to film myself doing consultations, fitness programmes and group induction/classes. I feel the actual course material is confusing and very contradictory and the sections don't flow, they jump from one subject to another and back. I've stressed myself out over this and it's actually made me feel ill. The material in this is difficult and with no guidance I'm finding it confusing and very stressful. When you phone you just get passed on to random people, most who aren't helpful or particularly friendly. One guy Ben was OK but only because he could tell how stressed I was over the whole thing. The attitude of some of the others I've spoken to have put me off even contacting the company. One of the exam questions is "whats the best way to contact train fitness?" The answer being 'by telephone' yet when I telephoned to say I was struggling I was asked why I had only written one email/mesage to them. I feel they probably get lots of complaints but have standard answers to them rather than acknowledge that the course is not particularly great, especially for remote learners. I'd advise anyone to find another course as I don't think this one is the best out there, in person is probably quicker, easier and more enjoyable. I wish I'd sifted through the really great reviews and found the ones where people like me are struggling, especially doing the course remotely. I wish I'd done my homework before signing up. I gave up my job to concentrate on the course but feel I've wasted my hard earned money and time. I have a degree with distinction in mental health nursing and have studied over the years with the open University and night school at college and I'm finding this impossible to complete and stressful with both content and the amount of work involved. I didn't expect the course to be easy but without input from those who are meant to be teaching it I don't see how it's possible to learn how to be a great PT from an online manual. I've been wanting to train as a PT for over 20 years and this course has destroyed any confidence I had about being one. The course work teaches about being motivational, inspiring and a role model but unfortunately train fitness don't appear to practice what they preach to their distance learners.
