This is an entry level fitness qualification which is a requirement to gain employment within practical exercise settings. All our courses are designed around a set of key principles based on engaging you with the world, collaborating with others, challenging you to think in new ways, and providing you with a supportive environment in which you can thrive. Throughout the course, you will acquire knowledge about how the body responds to and adapts to exercise.
