The objective of this free training is to train up eight people to be competent at carrying out GP Referrals. We then hope to get them funding so that they can set up a referral scheme in Norfolk. Candidates will gain the practical skills needed in order to motivate clients to take part in exercise and physical activity. Candidates will also touch on the different methods and contexts that GP referrals can be carried out. For example aerobics classes, green gyms, personal training, sports training and the traditional gym setting. Suitable for: People who are level 2 gym instructors with a keen interest in exercise referral. If you would like to work with specific groups of clients i.e. diabetics or heart disease then this is the course for you. You can progress from the course and set up your own GP referral scheme.

If this is the case 1Life do deliver level 3 gym courses so candidates could enrol onto them and then do the GP referral course. A genuine interest in exercise referral is needed because the ultimate goal is to get candidates delivering in Norfolk immediately after the course.
