What our graduates say about us

I would have to say one of the best courses I have been on. I have been working out for the last 5 years and really got into fitness, weight training and wanted to know more. I signed up for the Level 3 Diploma in Gym Instructing and Personal training in Milton Keynes and loved it.

Holly, Personal Training Graduate

Milton Keynes

I have danced for the last 9 years and wanted to start taking group sessions. I got recommended by my local gym to look into the Entire Training courses as they had a very good reputation.

Millie, Exercise to Music Instructor

The regular phone calls I received from my support tutor always gave me confidence in completing the home study in time and they made sure I was organised fully going into the training days
