Children's health issues are increasingly coming under the spotlight, with government initiatives to cut down child obesity and organisations such as the British Heart Foundation promoting exercise and sporting activities for children.
This course will provide you with specific knowledge about the health of children and the skills required to run exercise sessions, unsupervised, with children between the ages of 5 and 16. You will also have a fully accredited and nationally recognised qualification in instructing health related fitness to children.
This would be extremely recommended for health and fitness professionals who work within a family orientated leisure centre that runs or is planning to run exercise sessions for children, or after school clubs or non-teaching assistants who want to help promote fitness to children.
Please note that after successfully completing the course, before working with children your employer will require you to provide a valid criminal record bureau certificate.
