Christian: Personal trainer at SATS

Formerly a carpenter and soccer player, he found his new passion in personal training through EBT Academy. He describes how the training not only gave him a deeper understanding of training and behavioral science, but also prepared him to build strong customer relationships. With his newfound knowledge, he now has a successful career at SATS, where his services are in high demand. His days are filled with meeting people whom he helps to achieve their health goals, making every working day a source of personal satisfaction. He encourages everyone to take advantage of every lesson from EBT, because even the most experienced can find new insights.

Pursue a career as a caroline

Caroline, a former business developer, discovered her passion for exercise and nutrition during the pandemic. She talks about her journey with EBT Academy, where she not only found a flexible study program that suited her life situation, but also a deeper understanding of the behavioral science perspective in personal training. With these insights, she overcame the obstacles that had previously stood in the way of her professional development. Today, Caroline works with clients both online and in person, and experiences a new freedom in her professional life that harmonizes with her family life. She values the life she has created through her education at EBT and encourages everyone to find and follow their passion, just as she did.

Follow your dreams like Ellinore!

I was interested in deepening my knowledge of training and started looking around for PT training courses online. There are quite a few to choose from, but I settled on EBT Academy because of its evidence-based approach and, of course, because it was possible to do the course alongside my full-time job.

About the programme

What will you learn during the course?

An education is like a jigsaw puzzle. You put each unique piece together.

1

Diet and nutrition:

You will learn about the role of diet and nutritional requirements in achieving long-term results in health and fitness.

2

Training in theory and practice:

The course covers both theoretical and practical aspects of training. You will gain a unique insight into how an evidence-based personal trainer should think, perform and act. You will acquire solid theoretical knowledge in the field of training science.

3

Physiology, anatomy and science:

What actually happens when we exercise? What changes occur in the short and long term, and why is it important for you as a future personal trainer to understand these changes? Here you will hear our doctors’ perspectives on the whole issue. You will receive a basic overview of anatomy, physiology and source criticism. How can we easily sift through information, and what are reliable sources of information?

4

Psychology & prehab/rehab:

Encourage your clients to develop new habits, learn the fundamentals of personal training, and how to design training programmes based on each individual’s needs and circumstances. As a personal trainer, you must consider each client’s specific circumstances. This means that you must be aware of any previous injuries and assess any potential risks. In this module, you will learn the tools you need for both rehab and prehab. We will go through biomechanics and rehabilitation of various injuries.

5

Individual adaptation:

The course covers both theoretical and practical aspects of training, including different training methods and training programme design. During the course, you will learn our very best tips and advice from real life, which we have gathered during our interaction with thousands of clients and patients. We work in an evidence-based way, and that is at the core of everything we do.

6

Marketing and entrepreneurship:

In addition, you will learn how to market yourself effectively – everything you need to know as a recent graduate to ensure you have the best tools for your career. You will learn how to start a business and how to master consultation techniques. Whether you want to start working as an online personal trainer, start your own business or work at a gym, you will learn our golden rules for success.

Holistic approach

A holistic approach, designed by industry professionals. You will be trained by doctors, dieticians, physiotherapists, researchers, athletes and psychologists, all to give you the very best conditions.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Why should I choose EBT Academy?

In addition to having a highly experienced team with cutting-edge expertise in fields that are important to you as a future personal trainer, we take pride in being able to tailor our teaching methods to each individual’s circumstances. We have trained many trainers who now work in gyms around the world.

Our training is reviewed by several international and national bodies. That is why we not only have EuropeActive (EHFA) EQF licensing, but also Active Sweden’s PT licence, which is the highest accreditation for personal trainers in Sweden.

We have a modern, AI-based study platform where you can easily pursue your studies in a simple and effective way. No course literature is required; everything is available on our study platform, which is continuously updated with the latest scientific findings – so you always learn the most up-to-date information.

We place great emphasis on understanding human psychology and behavioural change. We work critically with our sources, and our training is scientifically reviewed so that you, as a future PT, can be confident that the information you receive is up to date and not based on someone else’s old experiences.

What does EBT stand for?

EBT stands for evidence-based training. Evidence means that we apply the best available knowledge, the professional expertise in training and health.

How can you offer the most affordable education?

We can keep prices low because we combine distance learning with physical meetings. It’s really as simple as that. We also have partners such as Fitness24Seven, where we hold our practical meetings. We don’t have any costs for expensive office space either.

How does payment in instalments work, and is it interest-free?

We offer 6, 12, 18 and 24-month interest-free instalment plans. For 24-month instalment plans, an invoice fee is added; otherwise, there is no interest or fees.

Do you help people find jobs?

EBT Academy collaborates with both large and small employers to give all students the opportunity to start working immediately after completing their exams. We guarantee all students who have completed our PT training a job interview with our partners.

Is the education eligible for CSN?

EBT Academy courses are not eligible for CSN funding.
