Premier Training International (PTI) has embarked on an international partnership with Talwalkars – one of India’s largest health club chains – to provide ongoing education, training and development to over 180 of its PTs and fitness professionals.

Launched last month, the education pathway scheme includes kinesiology, anatomy and physiology, as well as customer service. PTI will deliver leadership and management training to over 40 of Talwalkars’ senior managers, as well as a five-day Advanced Fitness Skills course to 140 of its fitness trainers.

The courses will be part of a larger education pathway that has the end goal of UK Level 3 accreditation, REPs membership and an overseas internship. The objective is to enhance employee performance levels in a bid to propel the Indian health and fitness sector closer to the standards of the international market.
