Pros and cons
Pros
- The certificate fee on the plan is £0, so a professional certificate adds no extra charge at the end of a course.
- The plan ranks 15 of 78 on monthly price and 15 of 78 on yearly price, both near the front of the table.
- Assessments are built into the courses, so the finish carries a professional certificate rather than a completion note.
- The library runs to 3,000 courses under one subscription, with 12 months of access.
- A team plan is available, and support runs on email, chat and phone, which goes beyond email alone.
Cons
- Access runs for 12 months, so the fee is committed for the whole window even after a course is finished.
- The starting price is the weaker figure, ranking 89 of 220 on that measure.
- Courses sit in business and it, so a coding or data reader finds a narrow catalogue.
Who it suits
- Learners in the UK who need recognised continuing development, since credit recognition covers cpd and ofqual.
- People who want a single subscription to hold both a qualification and a wide catalogue of 3,000 courses.
- Teams training several people at once, since a team plan is available.
Who should look elsewhere
- Readers who want to browse at no cost: Hotmart lists $0.
- Learners whose subject is coding or data, since courses here sit in business and it.
What it does well
The library holds 3,000 courses, and the subscription opens 12 months of access straight away, so several qualifications can be started inside the same term. Assessments form part of the courses, which is what turns a finished module into a professional certificate rather than a note of completion. A team plan is available, so a practice or gym can put a group of staff on the same subscription instead of paying person by person.
Pricing
Entry starts at £25, and the subscription plan is billed at £11.99 for a month or £59.99 for a year. Both figures belong to the same plan rather than to separate products, so the rate at entry and the rate carried afterwards describe one tier. The certificate fee attached to that plan is £0, so the certificate is not billed as an extra step at the end.
Where it sits among rivals
On certificate fee the platform ranks 1 of 47 brands, which makes the free certificate the strongest part of the offer. Monthly price ranks 15 of 78, and the yearly rate ranks 15 of 78, both well ahead of the middle of the table. The starting price is the weaker number, landing at 89 of 220 on that measure.

Frequently asked questions
How much does Academy for Health and Fitness cost?+
The subscription starts at £25, and the same plan runs at £11.99 for a month or £59.99 for a year. Entry and ongoing billing both sit on that one plan rather than on a separate introductory tier, so the figure quoted at sign up is the figure carried afterwards.
Is there a charge for the certificate?+
The certificate fee on the subscription is £0, so the professional certificate adds nothing beyond the plan price. Courses and the certificate both sit inside the same subscription, and nothing is payable at the point of completion.
Is the certificate recognised for CPD and Ofqual?+
Credit recognition covers cpd and ofqual, so a finished course counts for continuing professional development and under Ofqual. The certificate type offered is professional. Learners who need university credit or another awarding route would not find it listed here.
What is in the course library?+
The catalogue holds 3,000 courses, with subjects in business and it. Access runs for 12 months from the start of the subscription, which leaves room to sit more than one qualification in the same term. The courses are built around assessments rather than simple completion.
Is this a UK based platform?+
The service is run by Mayfair College Ltd. and the headquarters are in the United Kingdom, so the platform and its pricing are set for the UK market. It runs as a subscription platform, with the full library and the certificate included under that one plan.
Can I buy for a team?+
A team plan is available, so a practice, clinic or gym can cover several learners on one subscription rather than paying for each person separately. Support runs on email, chat and phone, which goes beyond email alone, and the catalogue of 3,000 courses is shared across the group.
How long does access last?+
The subscription opens 12 months of access, and courses can be started at any point inside that window. The monthly and yearly figures for the plan, £11.99 and £59.99, cover the same window, so paying month by month does not shorten the course access.
