What you’ll qualify with.

For clients living with obesity or diabetes, the right trainer makes exercise feel possible and helps them feel better day to day.

Our course leads to Level 4 qualifications in developing physical activity and weight management strategies for obese and diabetic clients, so you can take on the clients most trainers can’t.

You’ll earn the Level 4 Certificate in Developing Physical Activity and Weight Management Strategies for Obese Clients (RQF) and the Level 4 Certificate in Developing Physical Activity and Weight Management Strategies for Diabetic Clients (RQF), both national qualifications listed on the Regulated Qualifications Framework. Together they cover assessing, planning and delivering safe, personalised exercise for clients with obesity or diabetes, and supporting lasting behaviour change, recognising warning signs and knowing when to refer clients to a healthcare professional.

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’ll need to hold a Level 3 personal training qualification. The practical elements are hands-on.

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