Clear Answers for Your International Journey

Is this "just" a Bali certificate?
No. It is a UK Level 2 & 3 qualification provided by Active IQ. Bali is where you undertake your intensive face-to-face training; the UK is where your qualification is regulated and accredited.

Can I work as a Personal Trainer while I am in Bali?
No. It is important to understand that your C1 (Tourism) visa strictly prohibits any form of employment or income-generating activity within Indonesia. Your time at FTA Bali is for educational and training purposes only. Engaging in work while on a tourist visa can lead to serious legal consequences, including fines and deportation.

Where does this qualification allow me to work? Because your Active IQ Level 2 and Level 3 credentials are mapped to global standards for Gym Instructors and Personal Trainers, you are qualified to work in over 35 countries. Through the ICREPs international network, you can register and practice in major markets including the UK (CIMSPA), Australia (AUSactive), the UAE (REPs UAE), New Zealand (REPs NZ), and throughout Europe via EREPS.

Is the certification recognized by commercial gyms?
Yes, Active IQ is a premier awarding body in the UK and is the preferred qualification for the world’s leading fitness chains. Whether you are applying for a role in a high-end boutique studio or a large-scale commercial gym, your Level 3 Personal Trainer Diploma proves you have the elite scientific and practical foundation required to train clients safely and effectively.

Can I work as an online coach with this certificate? Absolutely. Your Level 3 qualification is the industry requirement for obtaining professional insurance as an online trainer. This allows you to build a location-independent business, coaching clients remotely from anywhere in the world, provided you comply with the local tax and visa laws of your physical location.

How do I transfer my Bali credentials to a new country?
The process is straightforward: you use your official Active IQ certificates and your CIMSPA membership to request a "Letter of Portability". You then present this to the national fitness register in your destination country to fast-track your professional licensing and insurance.

Does this qualification expire? Your Active IQ certification is a lifelong achievement that does not expire. However, to remain on professional registers like CIMSPA or EREPS, you are typically required to complete a certain amount of Continuing Professional Development (CPD) points each year and maintain a current First Aid/CPR certificate to keep your "Active" status and insurance valid.

Will I get help with the paperwork?
Absolutely. Our 12-month mentorship program includes monthly catch-ups specifically designed to assist you with the professional registration process and your career launch once you return home or move to your next global destination.

Can I work as an online coach?
Your Level 3 qualification is the industry requirement for professional insurance. While you can build your brand and business plan during your 6 weeks in Bali, you should not begin active, paid coaching until you are in a territory where you hold the legal right to work.

What if I want to stay in Bali longer to train?
You receive a three-month membership at Power+Revive included in your course fee. This allows you to continue using the world-class facilities and recovery center for your own training and networking long after the 6-week course concludes.

Is accommodation included in the course fee?
No, accommodation is not included in the base tuition. This allows you to customize your Bali experience based on your own budget and style. We provide a curated list of accommodation options to help you find a stay near the Power+Revive studio.
Budget stays start around £400 GBP / $800 AUD
Mid-range stays are around £600 GBP / $1200 AUD
Premium options for around £1100 / $2200 AUD

What exactly does my course fee cover?
Your fee covers your full professional education and several high-value "Bali-only" perks. This includes 6 weeks of face-to-face instruction for your Active IQ Level 2 and Level 3 qualifications, a 3-month membership at Power+Revive (including all classes and recovery facilities), a Free Hyrox Foundation Certificate, and our 12-month mentorship program.

What is the best way to handle food and nutrition?
Food in Bali is generally inexpensive and very high quality. Many of our students opt for the "Balanced Lane" meal plan, which costs approximately £220 / $400 AUD for the month and includes high-protein lunches and dinners from Monday to Friday. This is a great way to stay on track with your own fitness goals while focusing on your studies.

What is the approximate "all-in" cost for the 6 weeks?
While personal spending varies, a student utilizing our 90-Day Early Bird rate can expect a comfortable "all-in" budget including course fees, flights, accommodation, food, and visa to land around £3,200 GBP ($6500 AUD) for 6 weeks.

Do I need a specific visa for Bali?
Yes, we recommend the 60-day C1 Tourist Visa, which costs approximately £40 (1,000,000 IDR) and can be applied for online. This visa is perfect for your 6-week study period. Please note that the C1 visa strictly prohibits you from working or doing anything to earn a salary while in Indonesia.

Do I need to bring a laptop?
Yes, it is preferable that you bring your own laptop or tablet device. You will use this to complete your coursework and assignments during class hours and in your free time.

Do I need specific training gear?
Yes, you should pack high-quality activewear suitable for a tropical climate, as you will be spending 6 hours a day in the gym environment. Since you will be assisting in diverse classes and conducting practical sessions at Power+Revive, bring multiple sets of breathable, moisture-wicking clothes and supportive cross-training shoes.

What tools do I need for my studies?
It is essential that you bring your own laptop or tablet device to complete your coursework and assignments during class hours and in your free time. We also recommend a physical notebook and pens for quick anatomy sketches or cues during practical gym sessions.

How should I prepare for the Bali weather?
Bali is tropical, which means it can be very hot or suddenly very wet. A lightweight rain poncho is a must-have for scooter travel during downpours. We also suggest bringing a reusable water bottle to stay hydrated and plenty of high-factor sunscreen for your weekend getaways.

Are there any "everyday" essentials for the island?
An international driver’s license is required if you plan to rent a scooter legally. We also recommend carrying a backup debit card (like a Wise card) kept in a separate place from your primary card, just in case.

Do I need to bring my own medical supplies?
While there are many "Apoteks" (pharmacies) in Canggu for daily needs, it is wise to bring a small personal first-aid kit with your preferred brands of rehydration salts or activated charcoal—standard essentials for any traveler in Indonesia.
