Fitness Instructor B Licence – Frequently asked questions
Is the fitness instructor C license necessary for a fitness instructor?
The fitness trainer C license often only provides basic fundamental knowledge. In our experience, a C license is no longer sufficient to practice the profession of fitness instructor these days. Many fitness studios require at least a B license.
Your chances of entering the profession are therefore often much lower with a C license. Your best chances of entering the profession are with a B license. That's why we at OTL start with the B license, which includes all the contents of the C license and imparts even more in-depth knowledge.
Which contact persons are available to me during my training?
Is the shoe pinching or do you simply have a question about training? Our colleagues from customer management are always available to help you with any organizational questions you may have. They also have the expertise to help you with content-related issues. Here you can find our contact details .
What opportunities do I have with the fitness instructor B licence training?
Otherwise, you can also directly start your professional career and apply to various companies in the field of fitness and health as well as gyms. With the fitness instructor B licence you have a basic education that allows you to work as a instructor on the surface.
Not to be underestimated is of course now your accumulated knowledge. With the contents of the B licence you will be able to perfectly restructure your own training to your goals, to get the best out of you and your training! You will become your own instructor and contact person, but also for your environment you will possibly become a very sought-after person.
