You must hold a Personal Trainer certificate to do this course
The Exercise Specialist certificate continues on from the Personal Trainer certificate (or equivalent) and broadens your scope of practice to include special population groups. This qualification is a full occupational qualification offers you the best of both specialised fitness training and sport conditioning, meaning that you can train special groups like the elderly, children and pregnant clients, as well as train sports people to compete at their highest level.
Studying personal training is a lot more than just reading the course content! All of our qualifications requires the student to complete a certain amount of hours of shadowing (work integrated learning). Not only is this required to pass the course but will also be of benefit to you as it will help you obtain real world experience before entering the fitness industry. It will also give you in-the-field experience that you won’t get in a classroom and it allows you to explore the industry before committing to it full time.
