Petroc was my local college that offered the course that I wanted to study, as I have a keen interest in the fitness industry and I wanted to take my personal training qualification further.

For me, the highlights of the course are the hands on approach the course took and that the lectures took the time and effort with all the sessions.

The thing that I most enjoyed about studying at Petroc was the help you received and you could tell the passion that the teachers had.

For work experience, I did some football coaching at a local primary school and this helped me understand how sports had an impact on young children.

I am currently setting up my own business as an online personal trainer in which I offer other local trainers the opportunity to create their own online lessons/training videos to sell online.

My advice for anyone thinking of starting this course is to go for it, this course will open many doors for you and will teach you so many new skill sets. I was 29 years old when I started this course and I was made to feel welcomed and part of a great team.
