"My training experience with CMS Fitness Courses was very positive. Not ever worked in the fitness industry I was a bit nervous of doing the course. At first it seems a daunting task, but as I read the student manual, it guided me through the requirements.
Extra support throughout the course was freely available. In fact, I only needed to contact my tutor twice, and on both occasions, I received a prompt reply. I found it to be a friendly learning environment, and there was always the opportuniy to ask questions."

The course content was wide and covered everything I needed to know to get on and make my way in the health and fitness industry.
The equipment was perfect for learning on and was probably the best that could be offered anywhere in the UK"
