Students will learn how to:

• Design and implement an effective and successful exercise plan for both pre-natal and post-natal clients
• Understand the key considerations for pre and post-natal clients participating in physical activity

HOW IT WORKS:

Support is provided for up to 12 months but it is entirely up to you how quickly you work through the course. The estimated study time is 40 hours so if you average around 5 hours a week study you would complete in 3-4 months.

The course can be studied online through an online learning platform of via a student pack which is delivered hard copy in folders. This is yours to keep so you can write on it, make notes etc.

Support is provided throughout the course via a tutor who can be emailed at any time should you come across anything you are unsure of. There is also a support team by telephone.

The course is split into two units.

In unit one students will be required to complete a series of worksheets to determine their understanding of key concepts and materials.

In unit two students will complete a case study which requires them to design a programme card for each trimester and post-natal period.

The good news is there are no exams! Once you have completed all the assignments you complete the course.
