Certificate Course in Personal Fitness Training – CCPFT

CCPFT is jointly conducted by Gāyo and BPCA’s College of Physical Education (BPCACPE) which is permanently affiliated to the University of Mumbai and is accredited in Grade “A” by the National Assessment and Accreditation Commission (NAAC), Government of India. NAAC is the highest central body that accredits higher education through Universities. NAAC has accredited the University of Mumbai in Grade “A-5 stars”.

This vocational course is approved and certificated by and through the University of Mumbai vide # Aff No / ICD / 16-17 / 1370 dt Oct 20 2017.

The CCPFT course is not only one of the most comprehensive personal trainer courses in the world, it is the only one in India to be approved and certificated through a leading Indian University.

CCPFT is accredited internationally @ Level 4 by Europe Active’s EREPS, Brussels. Several other international accreditations are under process.

CCPFT has been mapped to the academic standards of Focus Awards (UK). It meets all Focus Awards’ requirements in terms of syllabus, knowledge delivery as also assessment and internal quality assurance standards. CCPFT certificates thus qualify for an UPSKILLING test in Dubai to be awarded Focus Awards (UK) Level 3 Diploma in Personal Training that in turn leads to UAE REPS Level 3 card. IQ Lifestyle (UAE & UK) is our Education & Training Partner in Dubai, who will conduct the Upskilling. (Please note that the Upskilling can be done on a visitor’s visa; however, the UAE REPS Level 3 card will be awarded only if the student has an Emirates Card or ID.)

These are some of the reasons why CCPFT is considered to be unique:

• Comprehensive course syllabus – both practical and theoretical. By the end of the course, you will master the 16 types of fitness goals and the 8 general categories of training methodologies. You thus have a market potential of 128 types of clients!
• Some of the best faculty in the country will teach you. Many of them are now trained and certified by Focus Awards (UK) as Level 3 Tutors, Assessors and Internal Quality Assurers.
• Teaching is supported by a mindboggling library of Learning Resources – over 15 eBOOKS and nearly 1,400 exercise videos!
• The teaching is through over 80 online webinars, home study & assignments and, finally, in-person classroom teaching. Online webinars and in-person teaching are internationally considered to be “face-to-face” knowledge delivery.
• Gāyo has always been reputed for – free of cost – post-enrolment and post-certification mentoring and guidance in academic and professional spaces.
• Gāyo helps build careers – not just jobs.
