Fitness & student certificate FAQs

Your questions, answered

Can I get a fitness to exercise certificate online?

Yes. A fitness to exercise certificate is completed online after a GMC-registered doctor reviews your questionnaire and any evidence you upload. It costs £49 and you do not need a face-to-face appointment unless the doctor needs more information.

How much does a fitness or student certificate cost?

Fitness to exercise, fitness for sport, school or university fitness and event withdrawal certificates are £49 each. University or college health certificates and teacher or nurse training certificates are £55. You see the exact price before you pay.

Can you provide a sports fitness certificate?

Yes. A fitness for sport certificate confirms, where clinically appropriate, that you are fit to take part in sport or physical activity. If your event requires a full sports medical examination instead, we offer that in person at our Leicester clinic.

Can I get a student sick note or university certificate online?

Yes. We issue school, college and university fitness and health certificates online, and private sick notes for students who have missed classes, coursework or exams through illness.

How quickly will I receive my certificate?

We aim to issue approved online certificates the same day once all the required information is available. This is a target rather than a guarantee, so please send your request well before your deadline.

Will I need a consultation?

Not usually. Most certificates are completed after the doctor reviews your questionnaire and evidence. A video or telephone consultation is only arranged if further clinical information is needed.

Can you guarantee my school, university or sports club will accept it?

No. Acceptance depends on the receiving organisation's requirements, so please check what they ask for before ordering. Our certificates are signed by GMC-registered doctors and may carry a unique Document ID and QR code for verification.

Can you complete my club or university's own form?

Yes, where the doctor has enough reliable information to complete it honestly. Upload the form with your request and we will tell you what else is needed.

What if the doctor can't issue my certificate?

Then we refund the full service fee. Every certificate needs a proper clinical review, and we only issue one where it is medically justified.

Can I use Prompt Medical if I'm not in Leicester?

Yes. Online fitness and student certificates are available across the UK. You do not need to visit our Leicester clinic.

In plain English

What is a fitness to exercise certificate?

A fitness to exercise certificate is a short doctor-signed document confirming that, on the evidence available, you are fit to take part in physical activity.

You are usually asked for one if you are:
  • Entering a race, competition or organised sporting event
  • Joining a gym, club or activity programme that screens on medical grounds
  • Enrolling at a school, college or university, or starting teacher or nurse training

A GMC-registered doctor reviews your answers and any evidence you upload and, where clinically appropriate, issues the certificate as a signed PDF. If your organiser has given you their own form, send it with your request and we will complete that instead.
