Work placement

Online students must complete a 15-hour workplace internship with a gym instructor of their choice. This internship is a pre-requisite for attendance at the practical assessment.

On-campus students will complete all practical hours whilst on campus.

Assessment

Students will be required to complete a series of online assessments for each unit of study. These assessments come in the form of multiple choice, short answer assessments and case studies. In addition to this, students must also complete 30 hours of workplace activity.

If you study with us face to face, you will complete all of these hours during your class time. The final two days of your course will involve practical assessment in which you will be involved in role play of various trainer-client interactions in screening, gym inductions and group exercise delivery.

If you study online, you will be required to complete a 15-hour workplace internship prior to attendance at the two-day practical assessment to support you in the completion of this assessment task. This internship will require experience in client screening, gym inductions and group exercise delivery.
