Stage 2 – Global Personal Trainer®

Online Live Programme – ZOOM sessions

From Knowledge to Real Coaching Practice

Stage 2 of the Global Personal Trainer® Certification moves you from theory into real-world professional coaching.
This stage is designed to transform your exercise knowledge into a safe, intelligent, and results-driven personal training practice.

All modules are delivered through interactive live online sessions with expert instructors. These are not recordings or passive webinars — they are real-time coaching labs where you learn how to analyse, correct and coach real clients.

You have 12 months from the date of enrolment to complete all modules. Each module runs at least 3 times per year.

Why Live Attendance Matters
