What you’ll qualify with.

The children’s fitness instructors trusted by schools and parents plan every session around how children grow, adapt each activity so every child can join in, and make exercise something children look forward to.

Our course leads to the Level 2 Certificate in Fitness Instructing (Exercise and Physical Activity for Children) (RQF). It can be the start of your fitness career, or a whole new group of clients to add to the ones you have.

You’ll earn the Level 2 Certificate in Fitness Instructing (Exercise and Physical Activity for Children) (RQF), a national qualification listed on the Regulated Qualifications Framework. It covers anatomy and physiology, health, safety and welfare in fitness settings, and planning and instructing exercise for children aged 5 to 15.

Your certificate is issued by Focus Awards, a government-regulated national awarding organisation.

CIMSPA is the chartered professional body for UK sport and physical activity, and they’ve awarded us their highest provider rating: ‘Enhancing’.

You don’t need any previous fitness qualifications. The practical elements are hands-on. Already hold a Level 2 gym instructing qualification? You may not need to repeat some parts. Call us on 0207 2929 140.

You’ll record your practical assessments on video and upload them with your portfolio.

TAIT™, the first AI tutor in UK fitness education, is with you around the clock for course questions, admin and anything you want to go deeper on. Ask at 11pm on a Friday and you get an answer in seconds, not on Monday.

And when you want a person, you can reach your Success Coaches by phone, email or our Help Desk, Monday to Friday.
