Becoming a certified personal in the UAE can open up a wealth of opportunities. You’ll have the chance to work with a diverse clientele and make a significant impact on people’s health and well-being.

Understanding the personal training certification process.


To become a certified personal trainer in the UAE, you need to complete a recognised personal training course that meets the standards set by the Register of Exercise Professionals (REPS) UAE. REPS UAE is the governing body that ensures the quality and credibility of fitness professionals in the country.


In order to certify usually involves the following steps:


  1. Selecting a course that is recognised by REPS UAE is crucial. The course should cover essential areas such as anatomy, physiology, nutrition, exercise techniques, and client management.

  2. Studying the course material. This will include both theoretical knowledge and practical skills. Regular revision and practice are key to mastering the content.

  3. Gaining hands-on experience is vital. Many courses offer practical workshops or internships that allow you to apply what you have learned in real-life scenarios.

  4. The assessment and examination. To pass your diploma, you will need to complete both written exams and practical assessments. These tests are designed to evaluate your understanding of the course material and your ability to apply it effectively.

  5. Continuing Professional Development (CPD). After obtaining your diploma, it’s important to engage in CPD to keep your skills up-to-date and maintain your REPS UAE registration.


Why Choose a Certification Approved by REPS UAE?


Opting for a certification that is approved by REPS UAE offers several advantages that can significantly enhance your career prospects in the fitness industry, both locally and globally.


Firstly, it has international recognition. Our certifications come from organisations like the Focus Awards which are highly respected worldwide. They are recognised by fitness employers across the globe, providing you with the flexibility to work in different countries, including the UAE and beyond.

When you choose a certification that is approved by REPS UAE, you can be confident that it meets the specific requirements needed to work as a personal trainer in the UAE. This approval guarantees that the certification aligns with local regulations and professional standards.


About the access to UCAS points.


Our certifications also offer UCAS points, which are essential for those who wish to pursue further education in the UK. If you plan to continue your studies at a British university, these points can be incredibly valuable, as they contribute to your university application.


Enjoy career flexibility and advancement.


Our certifications open doors to various career opportunities within the fitness industry.
