About this course
An alternative fitness career pathway to pursue involves venturing into the world of fitness education. The Level 3 Award in Education and Training qualification provides learners with the knowledge and skills to effectively plan and teach their specialist subject, and is therefore ideal for those who want to work as a fitness tutor and pass on their fitness knowledge and skills to the fitness professionals of the future.
The qualification is delivered via distance learning, with tutor support available throughout the process to assist with challenging theoretical concepts and assessment preparation. At the end of the qualification learners should understand their role and responsibilities when teaching, understand and be able to apply a range of different learning approaches to suit the needs of a diverse group, understand various assessment principles and practices, and be able to competently plan and deliver a tutorial centred on their specialist subject.
Those who achieve the Level 3 Award in Education and Training are suitably qualified to take up employment as a teacher/tutor within the further education sector, for either independent training providers or colleges.
For those who desire, this offers a career progression route for fitness professionals, and brings with it the associated financial benefits. This qualification is also recognised across a range of industries, opening up more careers development opportunities for those who possess it.
