All courses are run on a part time basis with differing start times throughout the year and a further distance learning option is being considered at present and may be available in late 2008.
Entry requirements
There are no formal entry requirements. The courses are aimed at adults aged 16+ who wish to pursue a career in the health and fitness industry. Some experience in the discipline you are studying (i.e. gym or exercise to music) is highly recommended, and, as all the courses require physical exertion and individual participation, a degree of physical fitness is necessary.
Career opportunities
On successful completion of the course candidates will have the ability to seek employment within leisure centres, health clubs or through self employment. We can also offer advise on further training and development within the industry.
