Higher Certificate in Exercise Science
The Higher Certificate in Exercise Science (HCES) – NQF5, is a Higher Education qualification which qualifies you as a Personal Trainer and Sports Conditioning Coach and gives an introduction to working with Special
Population Groups (such as the young and elderly).
The HCES leads to the Advanced Certificate in Exercise Science (ACES) – NQF 6. The Advanced Certificate covers High Performance
Training, Advanced Strength and Conditioning and Special Population Groups (including those with certain
medical conditions). This opens up further employment
opportunities in Health, Fitness and Sport.
