Who is this course for?

Employers of apprentices will select an organisation from the Register to conduct independent end-point assessment of their apprentices.
For candidates to undertake this apprenticeship, they will need to be focussed on coaching activities to improve health, wellbeing and fitness in a community setting for a range of age groups. Preferably candidates will already have an employer ready to start their apprenticeship.
Candidates will also have the opportunity to complete just a Gym Instructing pathway route.
Entry Requirements
Preferably candidates should have already achieved grade 4 or above in English and Maths GCSE or should have achieved a Level 2 equivalent qualification. If this has not been achieved, it will form a mandatory element of your apprenticeship.
