Learning That Fits Your Journey
At FEA Academy Maldives, our courses are structured to help you grow step by step from foundational knowledge to advanced coaching skills.
​
Each category represents a stage in your learning journey, making it easier to choose the right path based on where you are today.
Category 1
Health & Fitness Workshops
These workshops are designed for fitness enthusiasts and independent exercisers who are eager to expand their knowledge and improve their own training practices. They are open to non–fitness professionals and do not require prior formal education in exercise science.
​
However, it’s important to note that these workshops are educational in nature and do not replace the personalized guidance and programming offered through one-on-one personal training. Certificates of Completion are awarded upon successful attendance and participation.
What the Certificate Means:
Certificate of Completion - You have attended and completed the live course.
Category 2
Primary Certification Courses
These are certification courses, designed to evaluate whether a candidate possesses the necessary competencies to perform and instruct effectively and responsibly within a defined professional role such as a Personal Trainer, Health Coach, Yoga Instructor, Strength and Conditioning Specialist, or Pilates Teacher.
​
The core purpose of certification is to protect the public by ensuring that individuals who work in these roles meet established industry standards for safety, effectiveness, and professionalism.
​
As such, certification courses are structured around objective standards of practice, not tailored for personal interest or general knowledge. For those whose goal is simply to learn more about training for their own use, working with a qualified personal trainer is often a more suitable and impactful approach. It offers a more personalized, practical, and flexible learning experience without the demands of formal evaluation or certification.
What the Certification Means:
Personal Trainer Certification — Certification is awarded upon meeting all exam components and grading criteria.
Category 3
Continuing Education Courses
These are continuing education courses intended for certified personal trainers or qualified fitness practitioners. Their purpose is to deliver advanced knowledge and skill development to support ongoing professional growth within the fitness industry.
Prerequisites are required:
These courses are not designed for individuals without a recognized personal trainer certification, as they build on core competencies expected of certified professionals. Participants without this foundation may find the content less applicable or difficult to fully grasp.
Additionally, these are not certification courses. The Certificate of Completion awarded simply confirms that the participant has successfully completed the required training or education. It does not indicate that the individual has been formally assessed or certified in this specific subject area according to industry standards.
What the Certificate Means:
Certificate of Completion — You have attended and completed the course.
Disclaimer — You are not certified in this topic to perform the role, as this is only a continuing education course. You must continue to work within the defined scope of practice of a certified personal trainer.
Category 4
Specialization Courses
These are advanced continuing education courses intended for personal trainers or qualified fitness practitioners who have also completed prior levels of training in the specific subject area. Most courses are blended learning in nature, consisting of both live workshops and online self-learning components.
Prerequisites are required:
To be eligible to earn the Specialist Certification, participants must have completed at least one of the following:
-
Certified Fitness Practitioner – Module 3
-
OR An NCCA – accredited Personal Trainer certification
-
OR An equivalent qualification
AND
-
The completion of the prior level (Category 3) of the respective courses.
​
All participants who fully attend the live course will receive a Certificate of Completion. To earn the Specialist Certification, participants must also pass all exam components and meet the grading criteria.
What Each Certificate Means:
Certificate of Completion — You have attended and completed the live course.
Specialist Certification — You have completed the prior Category 3 course and attended the full course. Certification is awarded upon meeting all exam components and grading criteria.
Disclaimer — You are not certified in this topic or to perform the role, as this is only a continuing education course. You must continue to work within the defined scope of practice of a certified personal trainer.
