| Throughout your period of home study and assessment
you will be fully supported by your designated tutor. As a guide
the home study will take around 80 hours to complete, ideally spread
over a minimum of 8 weeks, although you may of course wish to take
longer. When you are choosing your attendance dates (your course
code) please allow for this. |
Q. "Will my qualification be recognised everywhere?" |
The O.C.R. (Oxford, Cambridge and RSA examination
board), is the UK's leading Qualification Awarding Body and the
Certificate in teaching Exercise and Fitness Awards have been approved
by the Q.C.A. (The Government Education umbrella) as a vocationally
related qualification in the National Framework of Qualifications.
Our qualifications also allow students if they wish, full membership
onto the Register of Exercise Professionals (REP's) at Level 2 or
Level 3. |
Q. "Will I get work after the course?" |
| |
The private and public fitness and leisure industry
has seen a massive expansion in the last 5 years with many clubs
including Virgin Active, Cannons and Fitness First opening up every
month. The continued growth in this sector means employment rates
and long-term security is very high.
A recent survey carried out by Leisure Business, in association
with all of the major clubs, stated that "demand for qualified
instructors is at present far exceeding supply. As a result salaries
and benefits employers are offering has increased to meet this shortage."
|
"A recent report by the City and Guilds, Future
Earnings, found that Fitness Instructors could become some of the
highest earners in Britain, earning up to £80,000 a year by
2020 as the population spending on leisure and fitness increases."
Sunday Times.
So the short and long-term outlook for properly trained fitness
instructors with a recognisable qualification has never been better.
We are proud to say that over 80% of students that have trained
with us attain employment within 6 weeks of finishing their course.
At Bodylogic Fitness Instructor Training we also have excellent
links with large chain employers and all students are automatically
registered with our national employment services network. |
Q. I am a qualified gym / ETM instructor but want
to do the ETM / gym instructor course. Do I have to re-sit the theory
paper and other parts of the course? |
If you already have a nationally recognised instructor
qualification then no, we can accredit you for that knowledge. Please
contact the head office a reduction in course fees may be offered. |
Q. "Do I have to be young and really fit to
be an instructor?" |
| Age and personal fitness really is of secondary
importance. What is important is that you have the commitment, enthusiasm
and the genuine desire to learn the skills required to instruct.
It is important to remember that some of the best and most successful
fitness instructors/ personal trainers are not always the youngest
or fittest but have a genuine passion for health and fitness and
are good communicators. |
Q. "Do you have any venues in the South? |
| No, however, many of our students come from there
as well as Scotland, Wales and even Europe!!! Our courses have been
specifically designed to minimise time spent attending a venue.
Many students find that although they can access a course closer
to their home, after considering the benefits of the Bodylogic home
study system, 2 days attendance, albeit in the North West far outweighs
the inconvenience of travelling to and attending a 6-8 weekend course
nearer to them!
We are happy to travel around the
UK or abroad to deliver training on site for corporate bookings. |
Can I book the L2 Gym and L3 Advanced Gym Instructor
courses at the same time? |
| Yes, of course. Simply book the L2 and L3 course
codes, once you have completed the L2 course you can commence the
L3 home study. |
And finally…"Why should I choose Bodylogic
Fitness Instructor Training?" |
| With Bodylogic you will not be pressurised by sale
people on commission to sell you courses that are inappropriate
for you!! All communication with Bodylogic will be with your tutors,
not admin/telesales people! You will be taught by people who have
excelled in the fitness industry at every level yet remain down
