Some experience of gym-based exercises, including free weights, is highly recommended.
The course requires physical exertion, and individual participation is essential; therefore, a degree of physical fitness is necessary.

There is an element of communication (discussing, presenting, reading and writing) involved and learners should have basic skills in communication pitched at level 2.
You will be invited to attend an informal interview where you can meet the course tutors for Q&A.

• Coursework/Project.
• Multiple Choice Examination.
• Portfolio of Evidence.
• Practical Demonstrations

On successful completion of this course you may wish to progress to a Level 3 award such as an Advanced Instructor Certificate or a personal trainer.
