Can I study Personal Training if I only speak english?

This article describes your available options if you're not fluent in Swedish

Updated over 3 weeks ago

Absolutely! Depending on whether you understand any Swedish or not, there are several options available:

PT ONLINE

We offer English subtitles on all video materials (see image below), allowing you to complete the entire course in English by combining our subtitled videos with automatic translation in your browser (Click here for instructions on how to translate web pages in your browser). You can submit all assignments in English and communicate with the school staff in English as well.


PT PRO

You can ask questions (and receive answers) in English, as well as complete all assignments and roleplays in English.

However, the teaching is conducted in Swedish. Our previous English-speaking students have found translation apps like Google Translate very useful, as they allow you to see live subtitles of what the teacher is saying.

Below, you’ll find information on how to use this function on both computer and phone. For theoretical lessons, we recommend bringing an iPad or laptop to make reading easier.


Google Translate (Computer)

  1. Open your web browser (preferably Chrome) and go to Google Translate.

  2. Set the languages (Swedish → English) and click the microphone icon in the lower-left corner. Allow any popups requesting microphone access.

  3. The speech will now be translated in real time!


Google Translate (iPhone / Android)

  1. Download the Google Translate app from the App Store / Google Play.

  2. Set the languages (e.g., Swedish → English) and tap “Conversation” at the bottom left. The app will then start listening and translating speech in real time.


ZOOM – Digital Classroom

During all digital lessons, you can enable real-time translated subtitles through Zoom’s built-in captioning feature.

You’ll find instructions for this [here].


Private Lessons

In addition to the options above, you can also purchase private tutoring sessions in English as a complement to your regular classes — a perfect way to deepen your knowledge in topics you find especially interesting! This is booked via our chat!


Starting with PT Online

If you’re currently learning Swedish, you also have the option to start with PT Online, and later upgrade to PT PRO once you feel more comfortable with the language.

In that case, we’ll deduct the amount you paid for PT Online from the PT PRO price!


Feel free to contact us via the chat in the lower right corner, or by email at [email protected] to discuss your study options and get a personal plan!
