Before you enrol
A specialty upgrade on top of your PT or PE background.
Post-Rehab Specialist builds on your training foundation. You need a movement and anatomy background to keep clients safe. Two ways in:
1
Have an SAS PT Diploma
Any of our PT tracks (Regular, Self-Learning, with or without EuropeActive upgrade) qualifies. The most common route. See the PT Diploma →
2
Have a PE background
Physical education students or graduates, sports science background, or equivalent academic credential. Share your credentials when you apply and we'll review.
Not sure which track fits? WhatsApp us and we'll walk you through it.

Common questions
FAQ.
Do I need to be a qualified PT first?
Strongly recommended. Most students hold an EQF Level 4 PT diploma (ours or another). If you're not yet certified, ask about the EuropeActive-accredited PT + Post-Rehab bundle on the PT Diploma page.
Is this a substitute for a physiotherapy degree?
No. This is a specialty for trained personal trainers working with cleared post-rehab clients. We teach the boundary · when to progress, when to refer back to a physiotherapist or doctor.
How long does it take?
2 months. Online sessions run on weekday evenings, to be announced, designed so working professionals can attend, with scheduled practical weekends at Performance First, Baabda.
Where will this help me?
In the gym. You will be the trainer who can take on clients after their physio or doctor clears them, and work alongside them to build those clients back to full strength.
What about refunds?

Refunds are only considered in cases of force majeure (documented medical emergencies or other exceptional circumstances). Full policy on our Refund Policy page.
