GroupEx (CYQ Certificate In Fitness Instructing – Exercise To Music – To Complement Pre-Choreographed Programmes)

Introduction

Qualify as an Exercise To Music/Aerobics (ETM) instructor with this new and unique GroupEx award, written and delivered by the founders of the first ever ETM course that combined Exercise To Music and a Les Mills module together.

This new GroupEx programme allows you to take your CYQ ETM qualification as a stand alone qualification and at the same time prepares you fully to go onto booking any pre-choreographed module such as a Les Mills, fitness Fx, Metabolic Effects hormonal weight loss module or a Children’s Fitness Programme with Drummond on successful completion of day 4 of your programme. The unique way that this course allows you to study will enable you to become the best qualified GroupEx instructor in the business making this the premier qualification to take in the most cost effective way.

Fast-track your career now and become a qualified exercise to music (ETM) teacher and save £150 off the usual ETM price of £699 if you are going on to a second programme.

Whether you have already passed your pre-choreographed training or plan to book onto it with any of the training providers listed above, so long as you can provide a copy of your booking confirmation within six months of your exercise to music course, Drummond will allow you a funded training voucher of £150 which you can use towards this qualification.  This means you only pay £549 and not £699 allowing you to invest in your further training making your employment prospects so much greater.
