Course Description
The Active IQ Level 2 Certificate in Fitness Coaching is designed for learners who want to begin a career in the health and fitness industry.
You will develop the practical skills and knowledge needed to work as a fitness coach, including anatomy and physiology, fitness training, nutrition and healthy lifestyles, client consultations, health and safety, and planning and delivering safe and effective exercise sessions.
Entry Criteria
Learners must be aged 16 or over and have an interest in fitness, exercise and working with people.
Some experience of gym-based exercises, including free weights, is 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 ESW Level 2 or equivalent.
Delivery
Unlike many fitness qualifications that are delivered online, we offer face-to-face delivery, giving you direct support from experienced tutors and the opportunity to develop your practical skills in a hands-on environment.
You will combine classroom learning with practical fitness coaching, including planning and delivering exercise sessions, working with clients and developing confidence in a gym environment. Practical activities and observed assessments take place in a real or realistic working environment.
