It does this by facilitating increased levels of physical activity in sedentary populations using a community based approach.
The qualification will appeal to people who wish to become community activators and support members of their community adopt and maintain healthier lifestyles.
Moreover, it empowers attendees to support positive behaviour change at an individual level in the adoption and maintenance of a more active lifestyle and signposting them to further opportunities and support.
By the end of the course the learners will know:
– How to profile and establish the needs of a target community
– How to identify the opportunities for physical activity in their community
– How to engage individuals and groups in physical activity coaching and supporting change
– What factors affect health and in relation to physical activity
– How to assess an individual’s suitability to participate in physical activity
– How to prepare, deliver and evaluate physical activity sessions

The course will be delivered using a mixture of lesson based learning, research tasks, group presentations, physical activity workshops and much more.
This is an exciting course that could be the stepping stone in to a community based role, an opportunity in which to up-skill within the leisure industry or a chance to get involved in local community initiatives.
