Discovery Learning is delighted to announce that we are an approved fitness training provider registered with the Enhanced Learning Credits funding scheme aswell as the Career Transition Partnership.

If you are currently in the military, or have been in the past, Discovery Learning can help you further your training and education with a range of military resettlement courses relating to the health and fitness industry. We will then continue to support your journey towards a successful career in the health and fitness industry.

We understand the unique conditions associated with life in the military, and offer the most flexible approach to learning. We offer full time courses at a number of bases around the UK and can arrange assistance in finding accommodation near to any of our venues.
  • Our West London Academy is a recently refurbished training and education facility with two dedicated classrooms along with our own private gym for students. This venue lies only 5.4 miles from RAF Northolt which would offer an ideal MOD base for Service Leavers.
  • Our Bournemouth Academy is situated minutes from the beach, and we can include a fantastic accommodation package here if required.
  • Our Manchester Academy is located within David LLoyd Cheadle, a fantastic venue, with a dedicated classroom and high quality gym equipment. All of our venues have outstanding tutors.

We also offer part time courses which involve a certain amount of home study backed up by several practical tutorial days led by top tutors in the industry. In addition, exclusively for the military, we offer the ability to transfer course dates free of charge if the need arises.

The health and fitness industry offers a wealth of opportunity for ex military personnel. Once qualified, Discovery Learning will support you in finding a job using our close links with the UK's leading fitness companies. As a National Skills Academy Centre of Excellence, our graduates are highly respected in the industry. All of our courses have had approval from the top awarding bodies (CYQ and Active IQ) and all credit you with a minimum of 20 credits on the Register of Exercise Professionals.

The fastest route to becoming a Personal Trainer is our Full Time Advanced Personal Trainer Course. This six week course includes:
  • the compulsory pre-requisite L2 Gym Instructor certificate;
  • the Level 3 Personal Trainer certificate;
  • an essential First Aid certificate;
  • our unique Industry Day which gives you direct access to a number of employers who present to you and enable you to quickly decide your future career options.
  • the final week of the course consists of a five day Exercise Referral certificate, which is a pre requisite for anyone wishing to progress to Level 4 on the REPS register, and offers a route into the health agenda by providing support and programmes for people with chronic disease and injury rehabilitation.
