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. This happens in this case via Volda University College. Normally this costs 60,000 NOK. 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.

Training
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.

Folk high school year
And you get more: Along with other lines, you get ball games, surfing, RIB, water sports, climbing, Via Ferrata and summit tours on skis and on foot in the rugged Sunnmøre Alps. In November, a training camp awaits in warmer climes with lots of workshops. In short, you get the best of training and a folk high school year. 

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 can offer many fantastic nature experiences, but the month of November is not exactly 10/10 in Western Norway. Instead, you go on a training camp somewhere else where the temperature is higher and where the sun provides plenty of vitamin D. These will be days with lots of training, various workshops and solid professional training. 

Since this is a new line, the destination for the study trip has not yet been decided, but both Spain and Egypt could be possible 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.
