"Support clients with long-term conditions with two vital qualifications in one course."

Course Overview

A long-term condition is defined as a condition, illness, or chronic ill-health that lasts longer than three months and that can not be cured. Such as asthma, arthritis, cancer, obesity, diabetes, chronic pain, mental health or heart disease, and more... you'll learn 27 conditions in this course.

When someone refers a PAR-Q, indicating a medical condition and potential medication use, the gold standard PT qualification does not cover or insure you to work with this client.

PT, Yoga, and Pilates qualifications assumes a client passes a PAR-Q and is healthy. However, the standard exercise, nutrition, and guidance provided by fitness professionals may not be suitable for clients with medical conditions, potentially worsening their health.

The Level 3 Exercise Referral qualification teaches you how to assess and adapt your approach to safely work with clients who have long-term conditions.

It doesn't mean a person who refers a PAR-Q cannot exercise. Nor does it mean every client requires a GP referral letter prior to training with you. Based on their condition and current status, you'll learn how to safely risk stratify and guide your client with 5* support. Contrary to common belief, exercise referral extends beyond local schemes.

The Level 3 Exercise Referral Diploma equips you with the knowledge and confidence to tailor exercise, nutrition, and behaviour change plans for clients with 27+ common clinical conditions.

This is 100% online and is typically completed in 4 to 12 weeks. This course fits around your schedule with just 1-4 hours of study per week. Upon completion, you'll earn two industry-recognised Active IQ certificates.
