Strategic Purpose Statement |
Holders of the National Diploma in Fitness (Applied) (Level 5) [Ref: 1240] will have a broad skill base within fitness, and advanced skills in the application of fitness concepts and practices in the fitness environment.
This diploma will be invaluable for people who have gained skills within the industry and have a more general qualification currently, or for people who have significant skills and experience and wish to have this recognised formally, or for those who wish to specifically train for, and enter into, the more advanced roles within the fitness industry. The level 4 credits from the Fitness subfield ensure that candidates will have sufficient competencies in individual and group fitness instruction before embarking upon further standards at the diploma level. This qualification is set at a senior professional level and targeted at people who have the responsibility of planning, running, and marketing their own services or who undertake more clinical or senior roles within the fitness environment. The flexibility within this qualification allows holders to have their interpersonal, business, communication and specific technical skills recognised, as well as allowing them to develop competencies at higher levels of specialisation that are applicable to their fitness environment. This qualification shares some common unit standards with, and builds on the competencies recognised in, the National Certificate in Fitness (Level 3) with strands in Group Fitness Instruction, and Individual Fitness Instruction [Ref: 0447], and the National Certificate in Fitness (Level 4) with strands in Group Fitness Instruction, Individual Fitness Instruction, and Personal Training [Ref: 0448]. |
