FITNESS & HEALTH CAREERSWork Opportunities Getting a job in the health & fitness industry may be relatively easy, with an appropriate qualification; BUT if you want a good job, good money and a secure future, you will need to place yourself at the forefront of this industry and stay there. This might mean you need to think about self-employment; and creating a new and innovative category of employment for yourself, before anyone else does. You need to first develop a basic grounding in your chosen industry; then develop lots of contacts (not only in your country, but around the world). There are many fitness and health industry workers who are low paid, working in struggling businesses. There are others though, in innovative and well marketed businesses, who are earning well, and have great career opportunities. In recent years, the occupation of "Personal Trainer" has become an important new vocation. Even this however looks to be evolving into something entirely new: the latest rage in some parts of the world is for Life Coaches. The life coach is a personal trainer who does far more than personal training: helping the client with organising every aspect of their life, dealing with psychological issues, nutrition and other health issues, as well as exercise. It may very well be that there will be more work in the future for Life Coaches than for fitness leaders ot even personal trainers. Train For the Future/ Not the Present The problem with most training courses is that they have been developed to serve needs that where identified in the past, or at best, the present. The problem is that the world economy is developing so quickly, that the difference between employment conditions of today, and those when you graduate, will be greater than ever. If you want a training course that serves you well, then you need one that provides you with the knowledge and skills that will allow you to understand and adapt to future employment needs. The most successful people have always had one thing in common: they do things a little differently from most people. With this in mind, our courses offer huge flexibility in order that every graduate can be a little different from everyone else who studies with us, or anyone else for that matter. If you design your own certificate or diploma, it is next to impossible that you will ever be competing with someone for a job who has the same mix of subjects that you have studied. As a graduate of this school, that makes you unique! With such unique training, your approach to problems in the workplace is also more likely to be much different to the "average" employee. You can design your own Certificate… We now offer greater flexibility than ever before! Utilise any of our 100 hour short courses as a credit towards a formal qualification. (Each 100 hour course equals 1 unit). REQUIREMENTS Certificate: 6 units, all in the same subject, or a related subject area. The subjects you choose should be confirmed as being suitable with the school. Advanced Certificates: 8 units in the same or a related subject area, plus 100 hours of work experience or industry related meetings in an industry that reinforces or builds on the material you study as part of the Advanced Certificate. PRE-REQUISITES Certificates: Year 10 or mature age, or 1 year of work experience. Advanced Certificates: Year 11 or mature age, a recognised Certificate, or 1 year work experience. The Certificates & Advanced Certificates have been developed to meet the standard established by the International Accreditation & Recognition Council (IARC), and have been formally recognised by that body. FEES: There are two options:
Any of the following modules have a relevance to health and fitness, and as such, could be chosen as part of a certificate or diploma.
Research Projects There are three distinct Research Project modules available, which are compulsory components in some courses; and options that may be chosen by the student for others. Each is 100 hrs duration, and involves two parts. The first part develops general research skills through some conventional correspondence study. The second part involves developing and carrying through a research project that focuses on a subject relevant to the students chosen discipline, decided upon in liaison with their tutor. Research Project I develops the students' capability to plan and conduct research into the current status of an aspect of their industry, and to complete a descriptive report based on that research. It also aims to apply and build on skills and competencies gained through previously studied modules, developing initiative and innovation. Throughout this module the student will:
Research Project III builds on the prior research projects, improving the students abilities to develop innovative approaches to workplace activities, through systematic research, in a relevant industry.
