This qualification is one of the most popular entry-level qualifications in the industry. It is ideally suited for those with a passion for health and fitness, who are looking for an exciting career change or career progression.

Gyms, leisure centres and health clubs are vibrant and fast-paced places to work, and they require motivated and knowledgeable professionals to teach exercise to their members.

During the course, you will be undergoing training yourself, and learning about anatomy and physiology, how to lead fitness sessions and plan an effective training programme for a client. This course also forms part of the first stage in achieving the highly desirable personal trainer status. This is the prerequisite qualification for entry on to the level 3 Personal Trainer programme.
