About ATP Academy
ATP Academy is one of Northern Ireland’s leading training providers delivering Health and Fitness Vocational Qualifications for those seeking a career in the health and fitness industry. We offer a wide range of qualifications from Level 2 to Level 4 accredited by VTCT, an internationally recognised awarding organisation. Our qualifications are OFQUAL compliant and REPs recognised, which are mandatory to gain insurance and employment within the industry. Along with these, we also offer a range of Pack Fit CPD courses that we have developed through PD Approvals and the Register of Exercise Professionals (attributed REPs points can be redeemed by registered REPs members). ATP Academy students also benefit from discounted rates on REPs membership.
Due to the physical nature of health and fitness courses, we provide a service that is based solely on a face-to-face approach, without online, distance or blended learning options. Our reason for this is that we feel that face-to-face approach is the most beneficial for our learners and ensures the highest quality of learning. We believe that the skills required to develop a successful career in the health and fitness industry, to train or treat members of the public safely and effectively need to be learned in the gym, classroom, and clinic environment, not just through a screen or textbook.
At ATP Academy we have made a point to set above industry standard requirements for our assessment criteria, to raise both the quality and proficiency of learners completing our courses. We feel as this industry is ever-growing that the standard should be set higher to ensure that as the industry expands the quality doesn’t diminish. We want to be sure that our learners leave knowing that they will make a positive impact on the health and fitness sector, and also ensuring a long-term career in the industry.
Our learners benefit from a friendly and supportive learning environment, and this extends beyond the duration of the courses they attend. ATP Academy offers comprehensive post-course support to our learners in the form of business support meetings, mentoring, work experience/placements, interviews and other employment opportunities. This also includes a number of our exceptional learners coming through to become tutors and assessors with ATP Academy, as well as instructors, personal trainers and coaches with ATP High Performance Gym.

Our team of qualified and experienced tutors and assessors support our learners through their chosen course, to ensure on completion that they are confident and highly capable health and fitness professionals. All of our tutors are not only specialists in their own areas, but also actively working and maintaining successful businesses in the areas that they tutor. They are also involved in continuous professional development to constantly upskill their knowledge and support the courses they provide, including degrees, courses level 4 and above, workshops, seminars, competing and research.
To keep our courses current we have also been introducing new innovative technologies (Push Band) and applications (Trainer PA) in the performance testing sector. With these new technologies we can ensure our learners are ahead of the curve with all the tools and opportunities to enhance their own services for their business and their clients experience with them.
