01About PFA Academy
PFA Academy / Pro Fitness Academy is an educational platform offering online courses, learning materials, quizzes, a final exam and course completion certificates.
The organiser and seller of course access is Bartłomiej Romanowski, operating under the PFA Academy / Pro Fitness Academy brand.
Contact the organiser at biuro@pfa.edu.pl or +48 790-314-021. The same email address is used for technical support, course access, complaints, certificates and data protection enquiries.
These Terms and Conditions set out the rules for using the PFA Academy website, learner account, courses, forms, payments, exams, certificates and learning materials.
02Nature of the platform and courses
PFA Academy courses are educational and provide structured preparation for working with clients in fitness and personal training.
The materials available on the platform do not constitute medical, physiotherapy or clinical nutrition advice, or an individual treatment or rehabilitation plan.
PFA Academy does not guarantee employment, a particular level of earnings, clients or any specific business outcome after course completion.
The PFA Academy certificate is a course completion certificate. It is not a state-issued document, a qualification within Poland’s Integrated Qualifications System (ZSK), an authorisation issued by Poland’s Ministry of National Education (MEN), a professional licence or a guarantee of recognition by every organisation in the market.
03Learner account
Access to the online course requires a learner account and signing in to the platform.
An account can be created using an email address or an external sign-in method available on the platform, such as Google.
The email address linked to the account is used as the sign-in identifier and may be displayed as a non-editable field in the learner dashboard.
Users are responsible for keeping access to their account secure and should not share their account with anyone else.
PFA Academy may restrict account access in the event of misuse, attempts to bypass security measures, breaches of these Terms and Conditions or unauthorised sharing of materials.
04Purchasing the online course and activating access
The Online Personal Trainer Course can be purchased using the purchase button on the course page or in the learner dashboard.
Online payments are processed by the external payment provider Stripe. PFA Academy does not store users’ full payment card details.
After a successful payment, the system records the order and assigns course access to the learner’s account.
In exceptional cases, access activation may take a short time due to communication between the payment provider and the platform.
If course access does not appear in the dashboard after payment, the user should contact PFA Academy through the Contact page or by email at biuro@pfa.edu.pl.
05Access to digital content and commencement of supply
The online course is digital content or a digital service made available in the learner dashboard after purchase and confirmation of payment.
Users receive access to lessons, materials, module quizzes, the final exam and certificate features in accordance with the current course programme.
Before proceeding to payment, users should accept the Terms and Conditions and the Returns Policy, and consent to supply beginning before the end of the 14-day period following conclusion of the contract.
When course access is granted, PFA Academy begins fulfilling the contract by making the digital content available in the learner dashboard.
If the user has consented to supply beginning before the end of the 14-day period and the course has been made available in the learner dashboard, the right to withdraw from the contract does not apply to the extent provided for by law.
Course access may be described as having no time limit, unless the course offer states otherwise and provided that the account has not been blocked for a breach of these Terms and Conditions.
PFA Academy may update materials, the interface, lesson content, quizzes and technical elements of the platform to improve course quality or system security.
06Quizzes, final exam and certificates
Module quizzes check knowledge after individual course modules and may unlock subsequent stages of learning.
The final exam becomes available once the requirements set out in the course learning path have been met, particularly the completion of the required module quizzes.
After meeting the course completion requirements and passing the final exam, the learner receives two separate PFA Academy Personal Trainer Course completion certificates — one in English and one in Polish.
Both certificates carry the same individual number and QR code linking to public online verification.
Detailed completion requirements are described on the Course Completion and Certificate Rules page.
07In-person courses and planned courses
A course marked as planned, a group in preparation, an interest list or coming soon does not automatically mean that the course edition has been confirmed.
Registering interest in an in-person course or a planned additional course allows the organiser to contact interested people and assess demand for a particular location or subject.
Planned in-person course dates may depend on forming a group, venue and instructor availability, and PFA Academy’s organisational decisions.
PFA Academy may suggest the online course as a learning option that is available sooner if the in-person course edition has not yet been confirmed.
08Learning materials and copyright
Course materials, texts, graphics, presentations, PDFs, quizzes, lesson layouts, certificates and platform elements are intended for the learner’s personal use.
Copying, reselling, publishing, bulk downloading, sharing an account or using PFA Academy materials to create competing products without written permission is prohibited.
Learners may apply the knowledge they gain in their professional practice, but do not acquire the right to redistribute course materials.
09Complaints and contact
Complaints about the platform, course access, payments, certificates or materials can be sent to biuro@pfa.edu.pl.
A complaint should include the user’s full name, learner account email address, a description of the problem and, where possible, a screenshot or order or certificate number.
The separate Returns and Complaints page explains the rules on complaints, technical exceptions and the right of withdrawal for digital content.
10Changes to these Terms and Conditions
PFA Academy may update these Terms and Conditions following changes to platform features, course offerings, technical service providers, legislation or security requirements.
Changes should not affect the acquired rights of users who have already purchased course access, unless required by law or necessary for platform security.
The current version of the Terms and Conditions is available on this page.
11Governing law and practising the profession abroad
Contracts with PFA Academy are governed by Polish law. However, this choice of law does not deprive consumers of the protection provided by mandatory provisions of the law of the country in which they habitually reside, where those provisions apply.
Requirements for working as a personal trainer, using a particular professional title, registration, insurance, language skills, recognition of qualifications or providing services may differ between countries or regions.
Before starting professional activity in a particular country, learners should independently check the current requirements with the competent authorities, an official database of regulated professions or the national contact point for professional qualifications.
Completing the course and receiving the PFA Academy certificate do not replace any qualification, authorisation, registration or decision on the recognition of qualifications required under local law, where such requirements apply.
