  1. Finding Employment: Seek employment through regular channels or apply on the government website for apprenticeship opportunities: Government Apprenticeship Portal.
  2. Exploring Apprenticeships: Discover available apprenticeships in your area through the UCAS website: UCAS Apprenticeships.
  3. Level 2 Gym Instructor Certificate: If you’re already employed as a gym instructor in a fitness suite, and you aspire to progress to Personal Training, obtaining the Level 2 Gym Instructor Certificate is a prerequisite.
