SPECIALISED PATHWAYs
At FitPro-X, we believe qualifying as a Level 3 Personal Trainer is just the starting point. So we decided to develop specialist progression pathways to help you move beyond the baseline qualification, define your niche, and build a career aligned with the clients you want to work with.
Level 3 Pre and Post Natal exercise design
The VTCT Skills Level 3 Award in Designing Physical Activity Programmes for Antenatal and Postnatal Clients is a CIMSPA-endorsed, Ofqual-regulated qualification we’re offering to address a clear gap in the market. More women are looking for safe, qualified support during pregnancy and post-birth recovery, and not enough trainers are properly certified to work with them.
This course is designed for qualified fitness professionals who want to confidently coach pre and postnatal clients, understanding how to adapt training safely throughout pregnancy and into the postnatal phase. It focuses on the key physical changes that take place and how to programme responsibly, particularly around pelvic health and exercise modification.
We also run an ongoing scholarship opportunity for eligible Level 3 Personal Trainers, with applications reviewed weekly.
With this qualification, you will learn to:
✔ Understand the benefits, barriers and common concerns around physical activity during and after pregnancy.
✔ Identify key safety considerations and manage risk for pre and postnatal clients.
✔ Collect and interpret health information to ensure safe practice.
✔ Meet the nutritional needs of pre and postnatal clients.

Level 3 Diploma in Exercise Referral
The VTCT Skills Level 3 Diploma in Exercise Referral is designed for qualified fitness professionals who want to work with clients who have medical conditions or have been referred through healthcare pathways.
This qualification allows you to safely plan and deliver exercise programmes for individuals with controlled health conditions such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity, hypertension, and other common clinical presentations.
Exercise Referral bridges the gap between the fitness industry and healthcare. It enables you to work with a wider client base, collaborate with health professionals, and operate within structured referral schemes in gyms, community settings, or private practice.
On completion, you will be qualified to work within recognised Exercise Referral schemes and expand your scope of practice beyond general population personal training.
Throughout the programme, you will develop the knowledge and practical skills required to:
