Premier Training to host London open day
School leavers and people seeking a career change will have the chance to explore job opportunities in the fitness sector at an open day hosted by Premier Training International (PTI).

The open day, due to be held on 27 July at the provider's flagship London Academy in Finsbury Park, will allow people to meet with careers advisors and find out about qualifications on offer.

PTI fitness trainer Matt Brown said: "With the recent figures on how competitive the job market is, it's refreshing to see an industry where the demand for staff outweighs the supply."

It follows the news that PTI has reported a 48 per cent increase in people applying for its health and fitness qualifications, which the provider said is down to growth in the number of local council and PFI facilities available.
