Discovery Learning Reviews 122

I have been studying online with Discovery Learning and have just passed my level 2 as a Fitness instructor. I was struggling a little regards motivation in completing my level 2 and thought to call student support for advice. I spoke to lovely Frank and he was very supportive and motivating me in completing my course. Frank you are a incredible tutor/examiner and made me feel so relaxed on my practical assessment-Thank you for all your support and guidance. I am excited to carry on in completing my level 3 via Discovery Learning. :-).

Had an abloute blast on the level 3 pt course in Manchester. Mike was a fantastic teacher with so much knowledge and patience. I loved it so much I’ve booked on for level 4 👍

Great company to deal with. Very helpful staff. Trainer Mike Watt is excellent. Makes learning fun and easy to understand.

PT course with Mike Watt in Manchester - thank you for one of the best courses I have been on for a very long time, Mike is an absolute credit to discovery learning. I have been an instructor for the past 14 years and I can honestly say that Mike’s knowledge, ability and complete dedication to teaching personal training is absolutely legendary.

He was professional at all times and made sure that he adapted to every students learning ability and brought in his own flair to all of our lessons making them throughly enjoyable !!

Thank you Mike and thank you Discovery Learning for ensure that you have first class instructors !!!

I completed Core Stability today and the course was extremely informative and useful. The content, range of information provided, pace of delivery and interaction with the Tutor made the course enjoyable.

Core stability course was very interesting and informative. Ricardo Walker delivered the course syllabis and so much more! Came away with so much useful knowledge which i can utilise to the benefit of my clients!

I attended the core strength and stability CPD course with Ricardo Walker and walked away learning o much from it! His wealth of knowledge has educated me with things I never knew about core strength. Top tutor 👌🏼

Ricardo and Tony were absolutely incredible - they made the training interesting and understandable. I loved both courses with them and they're both very enigmatic tutors. They brought in real life experience and it was invaluable. Thank you!

I did a Core Strength and Stability course with Ricard Walker in February 2018 and I can honestly say that it was much better than I could have imagined.

Instead of it being a course where we were just shown a load of exercises (the dreaded crunch!) Ricardo, taught us so much about assessing posture, the relationships between certain muscles, identifying weaknesses in clients and how to use specific exercises to correct these weaknesses.

Highly recommend doing this course if you can.

Just went through Core Strength course with Ricardo Walker as a tutor.
Highly recommending it, amazing tutor who knows his s*it :)

Amazing experience! Maria

It was a pleasure taking a course with Discovery Learning. Ricardo Walker did a fantastic job as my tutor. He was really helpful and his extensive knowledge in fitness was phenomenal. Every aspect of learning was made so much easier.

Just completed my level 2- highly recommended, flexible payment options, student support were very supportive. I couldn’t have been more impressed with the delivery of the practical wknd, Andy was fantastic. The only feedback I have is that the course content and deadlines needed to be a little bit clearer in the initial email communication.

I had a amazing tutor Tony Appleton who adapted the sessions making sure everyone understood what was going on.
Me myself am a practical learner and the classroom ain't really my place. But he broke down the functions of the body so well it became easy. I even brought him a drink yo say thank you.

Water of course.

Studied my level 2&3 with Tony, he is a very knowledgeable man with a lot of passion for his profession. Really enjoyed learning things frim him!

Level 2 & 3 Marylebone academy

Just finished my level 3 at the Marylebone academy, with Tony Appleton.
His subject knowledge and tutoring style are incredible. I would highly recommend anyone, if they are thinking of training in this field to contact discovery learning.

Level 2 & 3 at London Marylebone

I studied both Level 2 and 3 at London Marylebone with Tony.
He is a fantastic teacher who has time for every individual on his course. He has a great in-depth knowledge of both sports science and the fitness industry. I would fully recommend these courses at this location.

I have studied a few courses with Discovery Learning and can safely say that they are way above other training organisations that I have trained with. I have studied both the Level 2 Gym Instructor and Level 3 Personal Trainer courses with them. You’ll find that the content is pretty similar between all the fitness training providers as the majority of them will be accredited and assessed by the same exam body (usually someone like YMCA).
Where Discovery Learning wins hands down are the people that they employ.
The trainers are exceptional. Friendly, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. They couldn’t be more helpful and are a real credit to Discovery. On more than one occasion during the weekend practical’s the Discovery tutors would hand out personal contact details should we have any questions after the weekend or about the course content in general. I emailed a couple of times and they always responded promptly and with enthusiasm.
The behind the scenes teams, so the administration teams for example have also been great to deal with.
On my Level 3 course we did have a few small issues which boiled down to poor organisation. These sort of errors I’ve been assured have now been rectified and processes improved upon so should not happen again. But even when things did go wrong the team at Discovery, right up to the head of the organisation, were great to deal with and handled these problems with excellent customer service so that we were satisfied with their response.
The course work itself, though not much different in content from other organisations, is very well presented in the course work manuals, study folders and online learning materials. Both Level 2 & Level 3 courses had a number of videos and presentations to work through which helped immeasurably when revising for the theory and practical exams.
Again, if you get stuck or don’t understand something then Student Support services are only an email or call away to help you.
Having passed both courses, and now looking at Level 4 options along with some further development through CPDs I have no hesitation whatsoever in keeping my studying with Discovery. I highly recommend them, they are by far one of the best fitness training organisations out there.

Professional and friendly tutors but venue wasn't very good.football matches most weekends so loads if noises coming from outside and heating wasn't working one day a bit cold in the class.but yeah recommond it in general.good price for the level 3 pt course

Absolutely appalling service from people in the office, from start to finish. The administration is beyond poor. The vast majority of students on my course had some form of complain at one point or another: payments not taken properly, missing certificates, later receipt of certificates, missing work books, failure to return phone calls.... the list goes on and on.

The only saving grace was the two tutors who were really good, however they have both since left the company as they shared similar frustrations of the poor processes in the office.

I now work in the fitness industry as a general manager for one of the big name gym brands and also as a freelance instructor and PT. People often ask me who I did my PT training with. I have confidently steered many people clear of Discovery and can talk openly about my reasons. At the start of the course, if I knew then what I do now about Discovery, I would've given my money to another company. When a person is folking out in excess of a thousand pound for tutirion fees, they expect a quality product delivered with professionalism. Discovery appears to be nothing more than the blind leading the blind.
