On enquiring about this course all Service Personnel are encouraged to access the exclusive Fitness Career Consultation from one of Discovery Learning’s dedicated careers advisors. The purpose of this call is to establish your ultimate career ambitions and areas of fitness or specialisms that you may wish to pursue.
They will explain what the employment options are (Everyone Active and Virgin Active self-employed career offers) and they will discuss what your ideal job looks like – from this you can establish what will be the right ‘course mix’ to achieve all of the above.
The advisor will support you in developing a personal employment plan as well as guide you through your options and routes into employment. Finally they will be a point of contact for any further questions about the course or your career development.
All courses are accredited by Central YMCA Qualifications (CYQ) and are internationally recognised. Personal Trainer, Strength and Sports Conditioning, Exercise Referral, Pre and Post-natal course and Pilates are at Level 3. You will be eligible for Level 3 Status on the National Register of Exercise Professionals (REPs).
Level 3 Personal Trainer (PT) is seen as the entry route into the industry and employers are increasingly looking to their PTs to be highly skilled specialist deliverers with expertise beyond personal training. The Master PT course meets this need.
Once qualified as a Master Personal Trainer you will have a number of employment options open to you and you are also able to progress onto further specialisms, such as the clinical courses including Obesity and Diabetes Management at Level 4, or perhaps sports massage which you can study at both Level 3 and Level 4.
Opportunities exist in health clubs, leisure centres, working with special populations as well as self-employed in your own business.
