Frequently asked questions

What exactly separates the A- from the B Certification?

B = solid trainer competence for everyday work. A = more depth and specialisation (including more demanding medical and athletic topics) building on B.

Should I do both certifications?

B first. A is worth it if you are aiming for expert-level depth or specialised roles.

Does the A Certification build on the B Certification?

Yes. A requires the B level (or a recognised equivalent plus the Grow Fit exam).
