ENROLL IN PT EDUCATION – AND ALSO GET 30 CREDIT CREDITS?

On this course you will learn so much about exercise and health that right after finishing school you can become certified as a Personal Trainer in collaboration with AFPT . They are the largest in the Nordic region in PT education.

In fact, you can get 30 credits included if you wish. In this case, it happens via Volda University College. Normally, the education costs 60,000 kroner. You get it included in the course costs.

Contents
During the year you will learn about training methods, program design, nutrition, anatomy, physiology, exercise science, mobility, injury prevention, endurance and much more.

The classes will take place at Sporty's two fitness centers in the city. Here you will find a CrossFit rig, a spinning room, a group training room, and all the equipment and free weights you need.

For 500 NOK for an entire school year, you have free access to the fitness center, climbing hall, and water park.

Training camp in Spain
You will spend a few hours training with the sports class. There you will have the opportunity to do things like surfing, RIB, climbing and Via Ferrata.

In addition, a training camp awaits in the sun and heat at a luxurious sports resort in Spain. It will be two weeks of professional training, real hard work and well-deserved recovery on chalk-white beaches.

Competence
If you want PT certification, you must of course be motivated to work purposefully in your free time. If you pass a practical and theoretical test right after school, you will have an EHFA level 4 certification, which makes you very attractive as a PT at home and abroad. In addition, you can get 30 credits.

Actually, the choice is easy: Just pack your gym bag and come!

Study trip

When the darkness and cold come in November, you head to training camp for sun and warmth.

Sunnmøre offers many fantastic nature experiences, but November is not exactly 10/10 in Western Norway. Instead, you head to a training camp at a luxurious sports resort in Spain where the temperature is higher and the sun provides plenty of vitamin D. There will be days of various workshops, lots of professional training, real hard work and well-deserved recovery on chalky white beaches. 

Since this is a new line, the destination for the study trip is not yet fully determined, but Spain has several potential locations. Regardless of the destination, the days will be packed with line content and community experiences.

All costs for the trip are included in the tuition.

Teacher

You will meet three teachers on the course, all of whom will follow you up in different ways throughout the year.

Two of them are Personal Trainers themselves and currently work as course instructors in the PT industry. They ensure that you are updated on the best documented training methods and the latest research.

Sunnmøre Folkehøgskule is the only folk high school AFPT has a collaboration with. It is because of the high academic level of the program that it also has a collaboration with Volda University College where you can take 30 credits right after school.
