Introduction
This qualification provides the knowledge and skills to enable learners to plan, deliver and evaluate safe and effective sessions. This qualification will provide entry onto the Register of Exercise Professionals at Level 2 and can be achieved in the context of gym, exercise to music, water-based exercise and physical activity for children.
The course requires physical exertion and individual participation is essential; therefore, a degreeof physical fitness is necessary. There is also an element of communication (discussing, presenting, reading and writing) involved and learners should have basic skills in communication pitched at level 2.
- P1 - Gym based pathway - Some experience of gym-based exercises, including free weights, is highly recommended.
- P2 - Exercise to Music pathway - experience of studio-based exercise classes is highly recommended.
- P3 - Water based exercise pathway - experience of water-based exercise classes is highly recommended.
- P4 - Exercise and Physical Activity for Children - It is recommended that learners undergo a CRB check prior to commencement of the training. Learners can be employed before the CRB check is complete provided the organisation is satisfied, on the basis of other checks, that it is safe to do so; however, organisations cannot let anyone have unsupervised access to children until they have a satisfactory CRB check
