I cannot recommend APEC enough. The level of education delivered in their courses is second to none. I did my personal training course with APEC about 2 years ago and... read more I was so impressed with all the learning I did that I signed up with them again to obtain my strength & conditioning certificate. The attention to detail, the knowledge delivered and the constant communication and feedback both on their online platform and at their practical workshops have made a massive impact on my coaching career. The courses and the workshops are delivered by top coaches in the world of sports so you are guaranteed to learn to a standard higher than any other place. I am currently obtaining my diploma in performance nutrition with APEC and once again I’m very happy with the level of content delivered. If you are thinking in starting your career in the world of fitness get in touch with them as you won’t find higher quality courses out there.
