ATP UK was started at the beginning of 2008.  Paul Spence and Stuart Best, having been work colleagues previously decided to write and gain accreditation through Skills Active and REPs for some short courses and workshops designed to advance the knowledge of personal trainers and healthcare professionals. 

The idea was formulated and quickly the first three courses were submitted for accreditation.  The Postural Correction Course (PCC), Self Myofascial Release Workshop (SMR) and Foam Roll Workshop (FR) courses gained the accreditation needed and came back with some great feedback.

From that point the mission was to design and deliver a number of courses and workshops designed to offer not only advanced knowledge in particular fields but gain CPD points with any organisation that a trainer/instructor/therapist is registered with.  All the CPD workshops and courses are relatively short but are filled with lots of information facilitating a great advancement for learners in the field that’s being studied. 

Authors of courses (if not Paul or Stuart) have been selected to reflect their level of knowledge and experience in that particular field to maintain the high standards of ATP UK.

ATP UK gained recognition and acknowledgement of the standard of course before one was even delivered!  The presentation and standard of manuals is exceptional.  Links were forged with Primal Pictures, an internationally recognised human anatomy 3D imaging company and in our opinion the leaders in the market.  This link has allowed us to use their images both within our presentations and manuals, leading to high quality easy to use manuals.

In addition to this, a great working relationship has been formed with Discovery learning as well as links with professional sports such as Saracens Rugby Club and amateur/semi-professional athletes, particularly important with the Olympics just around the corner.

The level of learning that will be experienced with any ATP UK courses will allow you to leave any course with some great tools to further enhance yourself in your profession.
