• Different types of training to include; Advanced Cardiovascular Training, Advanced Resistance Training, Core Stability, Flexibility, Power Training, Motor Skills Development
• Periodisation – the ability to produce long term training plans with a variety of phases and outcomes

Prerequisites

You must hold a current qualification (within 3 years) in either Level 2 Fitness Instructor - Gym, or Level 2 Fitness Instructor - Exercise to Music. Candidates may also be considered if their qualification is not current but they can prove ongoing industry experience.

Training days

Online

You will be required to attend 2 training days after you have completed the online material. These training days will re-cap on all of the theory you have learnt while studying on-line and provide you with an opportunity to put your practical skills into action. Your tutor will also give you valuable feedback to prepare you for your assessment.

Intensive

You will be required to attend 2 training days before your assessment day. These training days will re-cap on the pre-course reading material you have covered and will focus heavily on the practical elements of the course. Each day will combine theory and practical elements and throughout the 2 days you will receive valuable feedback to prepare you for your assessment.

We recommend that you complete this qualification at the same time as the Level 3 Training in Different Environments qualification. We run the training days for both qualifications in conjunction with each other.

Assessment

You will need to attend 1 assessment day. You will sit a multiple choice theory paper in the morning and then take your practical assessment. The practical assessment is based on advanced training techniques. On your assessment day you will need to submit a 12 week progressive programme of exercise for a client to support your practical assessment. Your tutor will help you prepare this on your training days.
