Thinking of a career as a fitness instructor? This course will give you the ideal start, teaching you the basic theoretical and practical knowledge and skills to become a qualified instructor.
This course is for...
…anyone who wants to become a qualified fitness instructor in the private (gym) or public (local authority) sector.

The course covers a variety of modules, including:

- Health, Safety & Welfare in a Fitness Environment (mandatory)
- Principles of Exercise, Fitness and Health (exam)
- Know how to support clients who take part in physical activity (mandatory)
- Planning & instructing gym based exercise (practical)
You’ll need to be self-motivated, hardworking, punctual and committed, have a passion to become a qualified fitness instructor and determined to pass the theory exams and practical assessments alongside gaining voluntary practical experience in a fitness gym.
