STA Excel has announced a new partnership with The Fitness Group, the leading training provider in the health and fitness industry, and together we will be sharing expertise and co-promoting qualifications here in the UK and internationally.

For The Fitness Group, who work with a vast number of employers across the UK and who are partnered with the English Professional Football Association, the Scottish PFA and the MOD, this partnership will open up new opportunities for them to promote swimming teaching, lifesaving and first aid training through STA Excel, an STA Approved Training Centre and an official CIMSPA Training Provider Partner.

This also extends to the UAE, a region The Fitness Group is rapidly expanding into, and where STA Excel’s international network of tutors can offer both regulated qualifications and unregulated courses for swimming teaching, baby and pre-school teaching and pool lifeguarding.

Likewise for STA Excel customers interested in CIMSPA-recognised fitness qualifications, The Fitness Group will be able to offer a range of Level 2 to Level 4 courses for those wanting to expand their skills portfolio into the dry side of health and fitness.

Gavin Baxter, CCO of the Fitness Group said:

We are thrilled to partner with STA Excel to expand access to both wet and dry side qualifications, creating more opportunities for individuals worldwide. This partnership is built on a shared passion for quality education, and together, we aim to support individuals and organisations globally with a comprehensive range of industry-leading qualifications.
