Focus Training has developed a new online portal for fitness professionals undertaking courses, complete with a video library of exercise demonstrations.

The student portal is designed to provide a more interactive and engaging online learning experience. In addition to the video aspect, the portal also features interactive graphics to aid understanding of physiology and a function that enables students to complete multiple choice worksheets online.

The portal is currently available to all students enrolled on Level 2 Gym Instructor and Exercise to Music courses and also the Level 3 Personal Training Diploma. According to Focus, plans are in place to add more courses to the portal in the near future.

“This is a big step forward; we have invested heavily in developing a very user-friendly system to assist our students in successfully completing both the theory and practical elements of personal training courses,” said operations director Ben Jackson.

“Gone are the days of the workbook – our portal is the modern day alternative, much more akin with today’s student learning preferences. Our whole system has been radically improved and streamlined since its introduction, from student completion to faster marking turnaround.”
