Attended the L2 + L3 course in London in October. Our main instructor/ assessor was Ben, with Katie covering the T3 group training class.I'm an older learner (a retired financial services professional looking for a second career in something I'm passionate about). I also don't have the physique of a stereotypical PT and was really worried about how I would fit in / be judged. The whole environment of the course could not have been more supportive. Ben made a real point of ensuring that all of us felt free to be ourselves, to recognise the unique value we could each bring as a coach and to find out our coaching style - whilst also guiding us to learn to adapt it to meet individual client needs. Katie took the same approach when teaching the group training session. We were also encouraged to learn from each other. Everyone in our group had very different training histories and passions and the different perspectives offered added knowledge beyond the course materials. It was a brilliantly supportive group with everyone willing each other on to perform at their best. With significant time on the gym floor practicing on one another we really got to put our skills into practice before the assessments. When I first looked at the course materials and saw the level of assessments it looked quite daunting - but the in-person coaches (and the excellent on-line materials) really guided us through the content and the assessments. Ive had a thoroughly enjoyable two weeks and am really feeling quite motivated about getting stuck in as a PT. I also feel l've made some great new friends in my new industry as all learners really supported each other through the process.
