DESIGNED FOR LEARNERS IN THEIR 40's, 50's & BEYOND

​

You may have developed this through your own health journey, through helping family members, or through a growing desire to support others in becoming healthier and stronger.

​

What you bring with you already is incredibly valuable.

​

Years of life experience often mean stronger communication skills, empathy, emotional intelligence and a deeper understanding of people's real-life challenges. These qualities make exceptional fitness professionals.

​

"I recently used Cara to complete a qualification in education and training and I have to say it was one the best course experiences I have every had. As someone who is running there own business and trying to juggle work, life and education this was perfect. I could schedule lessons and exams around my life and Cara made sure i was up to date with any work that needed to be done. The ongoing support, guidance and feedback was incredibly helpful to develop my practical skills. I would highly recommend using Evolve beyond training To complete any qualifications you can for a more personalised experience."

Danielle

"I cannot recommend Cara at Evolve beyond Training highly enough. I wanted the convenience of online learning without losing the personal touch that in-person tutoring provides. After researching various providers, I found that the service and value offered by Evolve Training were second to none. Many online courses feel like a one-size-fits-all approach, with material presented as tick-box exercises, but with Cara, every session felt tailored and engaging. I gained practical insights that I could apply in real life, while learning a wealth of valuable information. Evolve beyond training is gold standard 5* service but at a really reasonable cost. It’s been the best investment into my personal and professional development. I’m pleased to of completed the training but also sad that it’s over because I’ve enjoyed it so much!"

Seren

"I have just completed my Level 3 Personal Training qualification with Evolve Beyond Training. Cara was an amazing mentor. The communication was brilliant and I could contact her at any time for support and she would answer very quickly. Cara made the process very straightforward and also made me feel at ease. No question I asked was a silly question and she took time to answer them in detail. Cara provides great feedback to help develop skills and maximise your ability/progression. I would 100% recommend Evolve Beyond Training, they don’t just care about you passing, they care about your future and career development. Cara cannot do enough to support me and has offered her support at anytime throughout my PT career."

Danielle

"I have completed many online courses over many years and I can say from experience that the training from Evolve Beyond Training is definitely one of the best.
Cara (my tutor) was able to impart information in a friendly way which was  one of the ways I was made to feel at ease.  She was also able to steer my studies in a way that I didn’t have to repeat work I had already completed.
All work and one to one sessions were carried out speedily and with out fuss.
Once completed and my work sent for external assessment, my certificate was made readily available and ready to download. An excellent company, excellent tutor, excellent learning experience."

MY JOURNEY INTO FITNESS EDUCATION

I created Evolve Beyond Training to offer a more personal and supportive approach to professional fitness education.

​

My career has taken me through many areas of the fitness and education industry, including establishing and running a training provider internationally before returning to the UK.

​

Alongside delivering qualifications, I have worked with awarding organisations and training providers in quality assurance roles. This experience means I understand the standards required to deliver high-quality vocational education.

​

Most importantly, I understand what it means to evolve your career later in life, and I believe qualifications should build confidence, not just provide certificates.
