EBT Academy gives you the foundation to succeed
Studying with us at EBT Academy means so much more than obtaining a license. You gain invaluable knowledge that will benefit you throughout your life: the opportunity to start a career in training, nutrition, and health, as well as meeting inspiring people who help you grow as a person. Being licensed, however, gives you a mark of quality on your CV.

Licenses
The right license gives
you the right foundation
Secure your future in the fitness industry with the right licenses. Many leading gym chains require licensing for employment. It is also a must if you want to work internationally. Holding a license not only gives you personal advantages but also increases your clients’ confidence by showing that you have completed a high-quality education.
EUROPE ACTIVE PT LICENSE
EREPS
When you complete your training with us, you receive an international license through EuropeActive. You will be registered in the EREPS directory, which lists all PTs in Europe. This allows employers to verify that you have completed a quality-reviewed education.
- Both our FLEX and ALL INCLUSIVE programs provide the knowledge required to obtain an international license through EuropeActive.
ACTIVE SWEDEN’S PT LICENSE
Active Sweden’s
national PT license
Active Sweden is a Swedish license that ensures the quality and knowledge level of personal trainers. When you take our All Inclusive program, you become Active Sweden licensed. We undergo annual reviews to guarantee the quality of the education. If you already have a EuropeActive license, you can supplement it with Active Sweden’s PT license through a special examination. This license was recently renamed and was previously called FRISK.

EBT ACADEMY license
EBT Academy
After completing the program, you also become an EBT-licensed personal trainer. This is a mark of quality that shows you have completed a science-focused education — what you have learned is aligned with the latest research and reviewed by physicians and physiotherapists.

Body therapists
Quality assured
The PT and licensed nutrition coach program is quality-assured and approved by the Swedish Association of Body Therapists. The Association is the leading organization in the wellness industry, representing various professional categories within nutrition, treatment, and training.

Frequently asked questions
Why should I choose EBT Academy?
We have an experienced team with specialist expertise in key areas essential for future personal trainers, and we adapt our teaching approach to each individual’s unique needs. Many of our former students now work successfully as trainers in gyms around the world.
Our program is thoroughly reviewed by both national and international organizations. In addition to EuropeActive (EHFA) EQF licensing, we are also accredited with Active Sweden’s PT license, which is the highest standard for personal trainers in Sweden.
At EBT Academy, you gain access to a modern, AI-driven study platform that makes your studies simple and effective. All material is available on the platform, which is continuously updated with the latest scientific findings, ensuring that you always learn the most up-to-date information
Our program places strong emphasis on human psychology and behavior change. We apply a source-critical and scientifically reviewed approach to ensure that, as a future PT, you can feel confident that the information you receive is current and based on solid research.
What does EBT stand for?
EBT stands for evidence-based training and means that all training is based on the latest research and proven experience. By combining scientific findings with professional expertise in training and health, we ensure effective and safe methods for optimal results.
What is the difference between All Inclusive and Flex education?
The difference between the All Inclusive and Flex Distance programmes lies in the structure and the support offered. Flex Distance is for those who want to study at their own pace and already have good practical knowledge of training. All Inclusive, on the other hand, provides more support and includes more practical elements, which can be beneficial if you want a more hands-on education.
How can you offer the most affordable education?
We can keep our prices low by combining distance learning with physical meetings. Through our collaboration with partners such as Fitness24Seven, where we hold the practical meetings, we can also avoid the costs of expensive office space. It’s as simple as that!
How does payment in instalments work, and is it interest-free?
We offer interest-free instalments over 6, 12, 18 or 24 months. For terms and conditions, please see www.medicalfinance.se.
What does it mean to submit an application?
An application is a great way for you to ask questions, think things through and get in touch with someone at EBT Academy. An application is non-binding. When you apply to attend one of our courses, a place will be reserved for you depending on availability. At the same time, you will have the opportunity to book your place when you feel ready. It is important to us that you choose the right PT training course.
What is the structure of the programme?
Our distance learning PT programme is divided into three blocks. First, you will gain access to our digital learning platform where you can read literature, watch videos and take quizzes. This is followed by live lectures held on Tuesdays to Thursdays between 6 and 9 p.m., which are also recorded so that you can watch them afterwards. Finally, there are practical exercises at gyms in Stockholm, Gothenburg, Malmö or Umeå, where you will have the opportunity to apply what you have learned.
What happens if I miss a day or more?
All our lectures and exercises are recorded, and you have unlimited time to complete the entire course. If you miss a physical day, you can make it up when it suits you.
What happens if I don’t pass the exam?
You can retake our theoretical exam an unlimited number of times. We offer personal guidance and a customised study plan to help you pass the exam.
Do I need any prior knowledge?
EBT Academy requires that you are at least 18 years old. Otherwise, we do not have any prerequisites; the idea is that you will learn everything you need during the programme!
How soon do I need to register?
You will gain access to our self-study platform on the same day you register. The earlier you start, the more knowledge you will gain before the live lectures.
What happens if I need to cancel?
You have a 14-day right of withdrawal from the date of registration. After 14 days, a cancellation fee will be charged. You can read our general terms and conditions here.
Do you help people find jobs?
Absolutely! EBT Academy collaborates with both large and small employers to give all our students the opportunity to start working immediately after graduation. We guarantee that everyone who completes our PT training will receive a job interview with our partners. As a student, you will also become part of our alumni network, where you will have access to experts in various fields, such as doctors, physiotherapists, athletes and marketers, who can help you with all kinds of questions. In addition, we offer free training courses twice a year, which is a benefit for our alumni.
What licence is included when you take your PT training course?
Our All-Inclusive Training includes both EuropeActive’s international PT licence and Active Sweden’s PT licence.
Is the education eligible for CSN?
EBT Academy courses are not eligible for CSN funding.
Where is the training held?
A large part of the training is conducted digitally. Practical components are held in Malmö, Gothenburg, Stockholm, Helsingborg or Umeå. It depends on where you wish to pursue your education.
