What to expect

No fluff! Effective Results ASAP

The objective is to build the skill set that generates results. Knowledge is needed, and not all of it. We only need to master what helps us deliver the results and ensure client safety. We call it the 80./20 rule.

What is the 20% of knowledge that we can turn into the skill that helps 80% of all the people we will meet?

Study Period

7-8 months, one-two hour per day on average

More than half of the time you invest is to build and polish the skills you must master as an effective practitioner. And that is a must because the skills are what people will value.

Prerequisites

What is it that you must know before you join.

This is the first step in understanding the SPEC Training System. We've had pharmacists, designers, marketers, physiotherapists, and seasoned coaches go through the program and graduate with flying colors.

Frequently asked questions

I already have a Personal Training Certificate. Why should I attend the Functional Fitness Trainer Course?

The Integrated Functional Fitness Framework is very different to other methodologies. It is the first accredited framework in our industry that teaches how to assess human movement as a whole, integrate foundational movement training, and understand human movement systems and their role in movement. Previously certified coaches have attended the Functional Fitness Trainer Course and found a massive difference in the material and skill sets they acquired.

How long does it take to complete the Functional Fitness Trainer Course

If you opt to take the exam after you complete the guided study period, than 5 months is the estimated completion timeframe. Once you start the course, you will have up to one year from the start date to complete your examination.

What happens if I fail the exam?

You have as many opportunities as you would like to hold the exam for one year from the start of the course. Once you pass you will receive a certificate of completion. We do not issue certificates of attendance to this course.

What is the value of the certificate?

When you pass the exam, you will receive an email with your ereps.eu username and password. On this account, you will find your certificate and you are now listed on EREPS as an exercise professional. The Europe Active accreditation is recognized in most countries on Earth because it sets the industry standards through the European Qualification Framework (EQF).
