What does the course look like?
Online Kick-off
Lesson 0
In this online kick-off, we'll walk you through what we expect from you and what you can count on from us. You'll dive straight into the psychology of how people actually learn, so you leave with a clear plan for the weeks ahead.
The Foundation
Lessons 1 - 3
We start by building a solid foundation in anatomy and teaching you to think in terms of movement. You'll get an in-depth look at the trunk, hips, and shoulders. Then, in the practical sessions, the anatomy really comes alive: you'll learn to read movement patterns and coach them with confidence.
Taking charge
Lessons 4 & 5
We dive into physiology. You'll learn how the body fuels itself with energy and how training can reshape it. You'll write your own program, take charge of the group, and get feedback on how it lands.
Muscle growth & Strength
Lessons 6 & 8
You'll learn what strength really is and how muscle growth happens. From there, we turn that theory into a deeper dive on programming training for individual clients.
Nutrition & Lifestyle
Lesson 7
Using the biopsychosocial model, you'll come to understand just how complex change in nutrition and lifestyle really is. And through an intake, you'll learn to prescribe personal, concrete actions a client can actually run with.
Intake
Lesson 9
The dress rehearsal for the exam. Conversation techniques, intake structure, and the intake form. You'll run an intake with a fellow student and get targeted feedback.
Exam
Lesson 10
You'll write a program based on the intake from lesson 9 and defend it.You'll write a program based on the intake from lesson 9 and defend it. Then you'll coach part of your program while we observe your coaching skills.
Our approach
Most students work or study full-time alongside the course. That's possible because we've designed the online and offline parts to fit.
Study on your own time
Many students combine the course with a full-time job. Study online on your own schedule, with 10 practical days on location across 30 weeks.
Online learning
Theory, videos and assignments you schedule yourself. Always available, always on-demand. You can start online right after enrollment.
Practical on location
Once every three weeks, a 3.5-hour class where you practice real techniques and get direct feedback from your mentor. At a location near you, at a time that suits you.
Personal guidance
Your mentor knows your name, your progress and your pitfalls. Milo's personal guidance is what every student values most. You're never on your own.

What our students say
"I took part in the English course of MILO and I'm so grateful I was able to get this quality of education living abroad. I would highly recommend this to any expats living in the Netherlands looking for a PT course. The coaches provided so much support and attention to detail."
"Right from the kick-off it was clear this is not a standard course where you just pick up a certificate. The theory is logically structured and truly comes to life in the practical classes. The mentors are real specialists, one and all: they live their craft and pass on their knowledge in a way that is both clear and engaging. I have not regretted it for a moment, and I am proud to say I completed the course with an 8.3."
"What a journey! MILO education was a journey full of discoveries. We went incredibly deep into how you move and everything that comes with it. The guidance is of a high level and they are genuinely there to support you as a new trainer. The bar is set high, but once you clear it, you really are a well-trained Personal Trainer!"
From burned out and lost to rebuilding my body, mind and purpose. Today I'm officially a Milo Personal Trainer.
"Having over 10 years of experience as a personal trainer, I didn't believe I would learn as much as I did. Boy was I wrong! This team of coaches blew all of my expectations away and has truly added an invaluable amount of knowledge to my craft. I couldn't recommend this any more to anyone looking to get into coaching or any coaches out there who want to learn and evolve."
