Diploma In Children’s Fitness & Nutrition (Includes CYQ Certificate In Fitness Instructing – Exercise & Physical Activity For Children & CYQ Award In Nutrition For Physical Activity)

Introduction

If you are looking to launch a new career working with children in health and fitness, this is one of the most comprehensive diplomas on the market. Embark on your new vocation with:

• Children’s Fitness Toolbox (CYQ Certificate In Fitness Instructing – Exercise & Physical Activity For Children)
• CYQ Award In Nutrition For Physical Activity
• Children’s & Young People’s Nutrition & Lifestyle Management
• Plus one free workshop of your choice

There is no set order in which the modules should be completed. So you can join the ‘course of modules’ that comprise the diploma at any time and switch between venues if preferred.

To ensure the best learning outcome, however, you will be required to have studied, on-line or from your books, your anatomy and physiology first. Following this, the remaining modules can be completed in any order, to suit your commitments and personal schedule.

The original Children’s Fitness Toolbox course toolbox, and its subsequent quarterly updates, are also available to buy separately. The original toolbox includes a handy carry-case and a minimum of 12 lesson plans. Each update also contains a minimum of 12 lesson plans, complete with coaching tips, equipment requirements and recommendations for music.
