Start part-time when you want - and get your recognized fitness trainer B license

The licensing model in the fitness industry began to take hold in the 1980s. The exact timing may vary by region, but the growing popularity of fitness and health training led to a sharp increase in demand for qualified professionals. This made it necessary to set standards for the training of trainers and to recognize their qualifications.

The development of the licensing model was largely driven by the professionalization and growth of the fitness industry. Particularly in countries such as the USA, Germany and other Western European countries, a system of certificates and licenses was introduced to ensure that fitness trainers had in-depth knowledge in areas such as anatomy, training theory, nutrition and safety.

In Germany, for example, the B license was introduced as a basic qualification for fitness trainers, followed by higher levels such as the A license. The aim of introducing such models was to ensure quality and safety in the fitness sector and to provide consumers with guidance when choosing a competent trainer. Since then, the license model has continuously evolved to meet the growing demands and new trends in the fitness sector.

The licensing models (C-, B-, A-) are widely used in the fitness industry, but are not state-recognized qualifications for fitness trainers. They are awarded by private educational institutions or fitness associations and depend on their reputation. They are considered professional qualifications, but not formal state qualifications. Unfortunately, the licensing models are not standardized and are therefore difficult to compare between individual private training providers. They are generally graded according to learning level, starting with the C license.

The sports competence module is not included several times in our training courses. If you have already completed the module, the examination will of course be recognized. This does not result in a price reduction, as the module is not charged again in further training courses. Your advantage: You save time and can concentrate on new content.

In general, there are no prerequisites for course or workshop participation.

German/Austrian Matura (secondary school university-prep exams) or similar certificates are not required. You also do not need any specific previous knowledge, since we build all of our courses up from a basic knowledge module, the Fitness Fundamentals, so you have a firm understanding of important fundamental subjects like anatomy and physiology. These subjects prepare you for the specific modules of your course.

We do recommend that you take an exercise fitness test or similar if you are uncertain about your ability to participate in all practical exercises in the classroom or independently.

We also recommend that if you wish to enroll in a course in German that you have a German competency level of at least B2 (CEFR), since the course material can be somewhat complex for certain subjects.

If you are not yet 18 years of age, we require a letter of content from a parent or guardian to purchase and participate in a course.

You are here because you want to improve your expertise concerning the human body, how it works and how specific exercises affect certain musculature and joints.

Of particular interest are the origins and insertions of the individual muscles. So that you can best prepare for the exams, you can find the vocabulary for parts of the body, locations, directions and sizes throughout the presentations and texts for anatomy. Both Latin and common terms for bones, muscles, parts of the body and directions are used throughout the texts and videos.

For each online subject exam you have one dummy exam (practice test) at your disposal. This exam is just like a real exam. The final grade does not get saved in your records and calculated in your final grade. You can use this dummy exam to get an impression of the format as well as the contents of the subject exam. This can help you evaluate if you are ready to take the exam.

In order to pass an exam, you must earn a minimum of 50% of the available points. The grading scale is as follows:

• with excellence ( 90 -100% of possible points)
• with high honors (80 - 89% of possible points)
• with honors (70 -79% of possible points)
• satisfactory completion (50 - 69% of possible points)
• fail (below 50% of possible points)

You have 2 attempts for each subject exam and for the final exam. These are included in the course costs for every course package. (Packages Premium and VIP include additional attempts in the course costs.) After failing the first attempt, allow our system 2-3 days to make your second attempt available to you. If you fail both attempts, additional fees are required for the additional attempts. These fees vary depending on the type of exam.

For each subject, a maximum of 5 exam attempts are possible, and the 5th attempt must be carried out as an oral exam with an examiner.

• from 1000€ up to 2000€: 5 monthly installments possible
  
• from 2001€ up to 3000€: 10 monthly installments possible
  
• from 3001€ and up: 15 monthly installments possible (no interest, no fees).

Our courses are appropriate for many financial support and grant programs. Whether your course is financed by such an institution or program is not up to us, however. The financial aid institution will decide if they will support your education with us. We are happy to provide you with the course information that the financial aid institution requires for an application. You are responsible for the application for financial aid or grants.

An overview of the most relevant support institutions can be found here.

Depending on the funding institution, either the cost of your course will be taken over immediately (e.g. AMS) or you will be responsible for your course costs during your study and receive repayment of those costs after successful course completion (e.g. waff). Please inform yourself of the exact stipulations of funding with your institution.
