Level 2 Certificate in Improving Personal Exercise, Health and Nutrition

This course will equip you with a detailed understanding of the concepts of health and wellbeing, including basic anatomy and physiology. You will learn about the role of nutrition in exercise, including energy requirements and fluid replacement, and then learn about how to measure personal fitness levels and create a personal programme of exercise and nutrition.

Please note: You will need to complete a fitness test as part of this course. If you become unable to be active and therefore cannot complete the fitness tests (e.g. a timed walk), or log anything in your exercise plan, then a pass cannot be awarded.
