Fitness Education Group

The Fitness Education Group was created in 2020 by the merger of five companies. These are EFAA Opleidingen, Sport&People, BlackBoxPublishers, BlackBoxAcademy and LAPT Business Coaching. The central idea is that a combined programme for both beginning and advanced fitness professionals, such as personal trainers, offers great benefits for our students. More offer, more choice!
