What dates do the courses run from?

Hi Iestyn. Thanks for the message. The course is delivered over 6 days (ace to face) or 2 days (home study). We have our next full time course starting this week in Cardiff, and another running in July in Swansea. The home study can be started at any time. Any other questions, please feel free to get in touch. Kind Regards Daniel

Alex asked:

Hi There, Just a quick query, I'm wondering what the current situation is with these courses due to Covid, and when they'd be available?

Answer:

Hi Alex. Thanks for the message. You are still able to start the course. At the moment we are asking all learners to complete the theory element of the course at home via blended learning/home study prior to the gyms opening. Once the gyms then re-open, all learners will be required to attend practical days at one of our training bases. For the Level 2 Gym Instructor course, you are required to attend 2 practical days. Do you have any other questions? Many Thanks Daniel

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
