Thinking about taking a Level 3 Personal Trainer Course in Cardiff – your thoughts?

[kelly smith1223]

Hey everyone,


I’m considering enrolling in a Level 3 Personal Trainer Course in Cardiff and wanted to get your opinions. I found this detailed article here: https://elovebook.com/read-blog/9396
It covers what the course involves, the practical training, and how it can help build a more advanced fitness career in the UK.

Here’s what stands out to me:

• The course seems to build on the Level 2 foundation, so you’d already need basic coaching skills or qualification.
• It emphasises advanced exercise programming, nutrition knowledge, client assessment and individualized training sessions — exactly the kind of skills I want to sharpen.
• Being in Cardiff is appealing because it’s a vibrant city with good gym and fitness‑studio opportunities.

A few questions I have:

1. Has anyone here done this course (or similar) in Cardiff or nearby? How was the experience with the training provider, the facilities, the hands‑on work?
2. After completing it, how easy was it to find work as a personal trainer (or improve your existing personal‑training business)?
3. For cost vs value – did you feel it was worth it, especially compared to staying at Level 2 or picking something else?
4. Anything you’d warn a prospective student about (e.g., long hours, prerequisite skills, time commitment) that isn’t always obvious from the course description?

If you have insights or resources, I’d appreciate your feedback. I’m excited about the possibilities of moving up in the fitness industry and want to make sure I choose the right path.


Thanks in advance!
