Built around your life

Your time matters. So there's more than one way to learn.

You have work, family, and Metro Manila traffic to deal with. The course is designed to fit around all three.

Blended learning

Theory online, at your pace. Practical days in person, where it counts.

Weekend batches

Keep your job while you study. Practical days are planned around weekends.

Less commuting

Study from home on weekdays. Travel only for the hands-on sessions.

Pay in installments

Spread the cost over the months that suit you. Clear fees, walang hidden charges.

Why Image

A career you can be proud of. A family that's proud of you.

We know that for most of us, a new career isn't only about ourselves. It's about the people we're working for.

Para sa pamilya

Turn what you love into steady, respectable work. Coaching is a skill that stays with you, wherever life takes you and whoever you're providing for.

A qualification that travels

Your certificates are accredited by REPs Ireland and mapped to the European Qualifications Framework. Dreaming of working abroad someday? Tell us where and we'll help you check the requirements.

Hindi ka namin iiwan

Most schools stop at the certificate. We don't. Career guidance, a graduate community and business mentorship are part of how we work, long after graduation day.

Real practice, not just theory

You'll coach real people before you ever charge a client. By assessment day, standing in front of a class feels normal, not nakakakaba.

Diskarte, with a plan

Whether it's a full career shift or a serious sideline, we teach you how to find clients, set your rates and build something that lasts.

Graduation day, kasama ang pamilya

We celebrate graduation properly: your certificate, your batchmates, and the people who supported you along the way. Bring your parents, your partner, your kids. They earned it too.

Since 2009

A name that carries a reputation

Image Education Global comes from the team behind Image Fitness Training and Image Pilates in Ireland, where more than 5,000 coaches have qualified with us since 2009.

When an employer or a client asks “Saan ka nag-training?”, your answer should mean something. Our job is to make sure it does: through the standard we hold you to, and the support we give you to reach it.

Metro Manila

Training in the heart of NCR

Our first Philippine batch trains in Metro Manila. Theory happens online, so you only travel for the practical days — and we're choosing a venue that's easy to reach from Taguig, Makati, Pasig, Quezon City and the south.

Based in the province or working abroad? Message us. Many students travel in just for the practical weekends.

Mga tanong · FAQs

Questions people ask before they start

Walang nakakahiyang tanong. If yours isn't here, message us and a real person will answer.

I have no fitness background yet. Can I still join?Wala pa akong fitness background — pwede pa rin ba ako?

Yes. The Personal Trainer course has no formal entry requirement, and the Mat Pilates course starts from the foundations. Our graduates include office workers, nurses, parents, athletes and people who were still on their own fitness journey when they started.

What you need is the willingness to show up and practise. We'll teach you the rest.

I work full time, sometimes on night shift. Will the schedule work for me?May trabaho ako. Kaya ba ng schedule ko?

The course is blended for exactly this reason. You study the theory online in your own time — on your break, after your shift, on the commute — and you come in for practical coaching days, which we plan around weekends.

Tell us your shift pattern when you enquire and we'll show you which batch fits.

How much is the course, and is there an installment plan?Magkano ang course, at may hulugan ba?

Fees for the Metro Manila Founding Batch are being finalised and will be sent first to everyone on the priority list. Installment plans will be available so you can spread the cost, and the full fee is shown upfront. Walang hidden charges.

Is the qualification recognised outside the Philippines?

Your qualifications are accredited by REPs Ireland and sit at Levels 3 and 4 of the European Qualifications Framework (EQF), a framework used across Europe to compare qualifications.

Every country and employer sets its own requirements, so if you plan to work abroad — the Middle East, on a cruise line, in Europe or anywhere else — tell us where, and we'll help you check what that employer or register asks for before you enrol.

Where in Metro Manila are the practical days held?Saan sa Metro Manila ang practicals?

The venue for the Founding Batch will be confirmed with the batch dates. We're choosing a fully equipped facility that's reachable by MRT/LRT and major routes, because nobody should lose three hours to traffic to attend class.

Am I too old, or not fit enough, to become a coach?

No. Great coaches are made from people who understand what it's like to start. We've had graduates qualify in their forties and fifties, and many who were still working on their own goals. Clients trust a coach who is knowledgeable, kind and consistent — not one who looks like a magazine cover.

What happens after I graduate?

This is where we're different. You stay part of the graduate community, you keep access to career guidance, and you can continue into the Fitness Business Accelerator, a 12-week mentorship on finding clients, setting your rates and building a steady income. Hindi ka namin iiwan pagkatapos ng graduation.

Let's connect

Tara, usap tayo.

No pressure, no hard sell. Tell us where you are now and where you want to be. We'll walk you through the schedule, the fees and the installment options, and you decide in your own time.

Kaya mo 'to. We'll be with you every step.
