Description
What makes a top-flight sports coach or fitness instructor? This Certificate course investigates the factors that contribute to success, and gives you an in-depth knowledge of how the sector works. Focusing on the needs of participants or clients, you’ll explore training, nutrition, motivation, customer care and management principles – while increasing your current effectiveness and skills in these areas. As you study, you’ll always come back to what matters most: applying theory to practice. The CertHE in Sport, Fitness and Management uses case studies and reflects on real and potential work situations using film, text and website materials. It will enhance your career prospects, your understanding of your work role and prepare you for further study.
