The latest news from our team on all thing related to physical activity coaching.
Inspire the next generation
Premier Education is home to a community of over one thousand coaches (we call them Activity Professionals) and all have their own reasons for loving their work with us. For some, it’s the satisfaction of seeing the children develop, for others, it’s the ability to get active and outside for a living, or even our flexible and fair working hours. Whatever the reason, coaching is one of the most rewarding careers out there and with our ever-growing network, Premier Education is the place to do it!
Established in 1999, Premier Education offers a large support network to all our Activity Professionals that sets us aside from other training companies.

Love what you do!
