ADVANCED FITNESS INSTRUCTOR - ETM

A six day module for instructors with level 2 Exercise & Fitness in ETM and at least two years teaching experience.  
 
This course will further your knowledge and enable you to teach a wider range of progressive classes.  
 
The course covers:-  
Advanced Theory  
Take your knowledge a step further. You'll learn about new muscles, planes of movement and the hormonal system. Find out more about how clients pick up routines by understanding the nervous system. The module will prepare you to sit the CYQ level 3 theory paper (if you have already sat this or prefer to do this as home study then you can opt for just the practical unit)  
 
Practical module  
Hone your practical skills, choreograph routines with an extra edge to them and try different approaches to CV training. Learn to incorporate advanced strength and endurance techniques to burn and tone. You'll get a chance to try 3 different class approaches and consolidate all the theory you have just learnt.  
 
ASSESSMENT  
To pass the Advanced Fitness Instructor ETM you must pass the level 3 theory paper (you will not have to sit this if you have achieved this in Pilates or Gym at level 3).  
 
You also need to be seen teaching both during the course and at your final practical assessment and provide information about the classes you teach and how you can make them more challenging.  
 
The cost of the course includes practical assessment, theory paper (three day Advanced Theory and six day Combined Course only) and progressive plans & viva, plus registration and certification with CYQ.
