What employers look forFrom the Personal Trainer guide
Yachts hire trainers with solid land experience first. A Level 3 Personal Trainer qualification or a sports science degree is the baseline, and private client or high-end gym experience counts for a lot. Yoga, Pilates, sports massage or physiotherapy skills make you far easier to place. Captains want someone discreet, presentable and willing to help elsewhere when the gym is quiet. You still need STCW Basic Safety and an ENG1 like every other crew member.

QuestionsSee what a Personal Trainer earns
What tickets should a Personal Trainer CV list?
List STCW Basic Safety Training, ENG1 medical certificate and Level 3 Personal Trainer first, each with the date it was issued. Then add Yoga or Pilates teaching certificate and Sports massage qualification if you hold them.
How long should a Personal Trainer CV be?
Two pages at most. Give your last three jobs in detail and one line each to older ones.
Can I copy this example CV?
Use the layout and the order, then replace every line with your own details. Never list a ticket or a job you do not have: captains and crew agents check certificates and call references.
