Level 2 Certificate in Improving Personal Exercise, Health and Nutrition

Course Overview

Would any of your learners benefit from an increased knowledge of exercise, health and nutrition? Distance learning makes it easy for your learners to study anytime, anywhere.

This qualification aims to provide your learners with a detailed understanding of the concepts of health and well-being, including basic anatomy and physiology. They will learn about the role of nutrition, in exercise, including energy requirements and fluid replacement, and then learn about how to measure personal fitness levels and create a personal programme of exercise and nutrition.

Upon completion of this course, your learners could progress on to one of our other health and nutrition distance learning courses, such as the Level 2 Certificate in Understanding Nutrition and Health.

Please note: Learners are required to complete a fitness test as part of this course. If they become unable to be active and therefore cannot complete the fitness tests (I.e a timed walk) or log anything in their exercise plan (this could be from any fitness level start point such as stretches, walking, a physio plan etc), a pass cannot be given.
