Skill Up! Our Story
We have been committed to bringing quality, robust, world class education to the fitness, exercise and rehabilitation sector for over 40 years. Our experts are leaders in their fields from all aspects of fitness, exercise, performance, wellness, therapy, movement and Pilates to name a few.
Why Skill Up?
Over our 40 years of delivery we noticed it was becoming more and more expensive for instructors, trainers and therapists to upskill their knowledge, build their skills, progress their fitness and rehabilitation careers, as well as fulfil their CPD requirements. We know there is a lot of noise out there on what education you should take to keep yourself up-skilled as an instructor, trainer, coach or therapist making it hard to distinguish between good and bad education. We all suffer from a 'google or Facebook said' world. What courses should you take and invest your time and money in? Lots of providers popping up everywhere! Some even taking instructors money and either not delivering the quality expected or leaving you in the lurch and going bust.
Then the pandemic hit our sector and knocked us all down. Lockdown stopped the clock for us all for a while and we took stock. It was a once in a lifetime opportunity to re-evaulate and decide what mattered the most.
What did we do?
We continued to educate through lockdown and learnt through new technologies how to make education accessible to everyone and free, through our online platform.
When we returned from lockdown we pondered on how we could continue to reach out and offer dedicated robust education that fulfils all the CPD requirements and gives you the skills and knowledge you need to progress your fitness or therapy work either free or at a substantially reduced cost. The concept of Skill Up was born.
Our aim is to continue to dedicate ourselves to deliver to you, our colleagues, world class education resources that help you. We will continue to bring our team together to develop your professional journey in health, wellness & rehabilitation at a low cost. Education you can rely on, that is evidence based, current, inspirational and delivered by the top experts in their fields. We have collaborated with leading fitness professionals across the globe bringing together top fitness and exercise educators, Pilates experts, leading therapists,biomechanics experts, physiotherapists, orthopaedic surgeons, sports coaches and scientists. We brought them together in one portal exclusive to you, our members.
Skill Up is the next generation of Fitness, Exercise and Rehabilitation Education!
