Course Structure
Let's Introduce
As soon as you enroll today, I (Hayley) will email you all the course details and post your Active IQ course manual
You'll have me as your main point of contact throughout your course, ensuring you’re fully supported every step of the way.
Then, on your attendance day, Neale and I will be there to guide you through the training in person.
Home Study
Most learners have at least 1-6 weeks of home-study prior to the weekend attendance in our Milton Keynes Academy. However, it is not compulsory, so you can do the home-learning tasks after the weekend if you prefer. There are no assessments prior to attending; you'll complete everything on course.
The home study involves completing a worksheet with short-answer quetions, and creating a circuit plan
1 day Face-to-Face
You'll join us for 1 day in our Milton Keynes Academy.
The face-to-face day has 4 workshops where we'll go between the classroom and the gym.
There's very little sitting around with 80% of each day being practical-based.
The practical workshops are not a test of your own fitness or what you can do.
It's a time to practice coaching and learn how to be an outstanding circuit instructor.
Below is an overview of what to expect:
Attendance day:
On your attendance day for the Level 2 Circuit Training Instructor Course, we’ll explore a variety of circuit structures and coaching styles. You’ll learn different layouts, including commander-style (HIIT) workouts, satellite circuits, and call-out circuits, plus more.
Discover how to make group sessions engaging and dynamic with gameplay and challenges, while ensuring every circuit is safe and effective. Throughout the day, you'll practice coaching in small groups, gradually building confidence.
Plus, you'll master the art of creating effective full-body workouts using minimal or even no equipment, ensuring you can lead engaging sessions anywhere.
In the afternoon, you’ll complete your practical assessment, delivering a planned circuit session to a small group of your peers. This will include a warm-up, main workout, and cool-down.
