What our students say…

I am currently doing my Level 3 PT Course and bbsolutely loving it! Leap has made the course interesting and engaging. The content is explained in a very digestible form, and there are videos further break it down to help mix up the learning. The coaches that teach the content are all very relatable and understanding making them very approachable with any issues you are having. The Live sessions and social pages also make it easy to communicate with peers and course coaches, allowing you to ask any questions you have which is amazing!I would highly recommend going with LEAP to do any courses you are interested in!

Maddie

Everything from the coursework to the incredible teachers has been great fun and made me eager to come back and continue the course.
The trainers are all so lovely and helpful and the course itself is so in depth and informative it’s awesome!!

Emilie

I am currently in the process of doing my Level 2/3 PT course. I have been considering it for a while. Now I have started I love the way it is set up. The support you get from the trainers is bar non. I love how you can just do it in your own pace, it can take you a few months or 10 months, all depends on when you are able to do it. Thank you for everything so far. Looking forward to seeing what’s to come.

Jack

If you’re looking for a place to complete your courses within the health & wellness industry then look no further than Leap Academy!! I was looking to pursue my dream career as a PT but wasn’t sure where I was best to do them until Leap academy came along and it’s the most interactive and supportive community of learners & demonstrators. It’s so hands on and filled with different formats to mix up your learning which makes it so much more engaging and easier to learn! They also have live online classes where you can ask your trainers questions in real time and get to know your peers and makes you really feel part of the academy. I’ve had so much support from the team and recently passed my unit 1 exam for my level 2/3 PT course & I’m overjoyed!
