Do you have a passion for Sports and Exercise? Do you want to upskill to become a personal trainer? Here is your opportunity!

NorthTec is making it easier to realise your passion with a new fees-free online programme - New Zealand Certificate in Exercise (Level 4)

It is designed for people who want to upskill themselves to become personal trainers, and people who generally want to learn more about fitness and nutrition.

The Level 4 New Zealand Certificate in Exercise will be available in semester two and will start on 27 July. This qualification is delivered online with support from tutors and industry supervisors. There will be the additional option to engage in some workshops, either face-to-face or via Zoom.

This means that students can study from home and complete the 18-week programme from anywhere, as long as they have access to a suitable gym.

It is designed to equip students with the know-how to get into the exercise industry, teaching what it means to be an exercise professional, what support is available and what is required to be an effective exercise professional helping clients. The programme also requires students to spend 220 hours in the workplace.

Learners will be taught by tutors who currently deliver NorthTec’s diplomas and degree programme in sport and recreation. They will have access to NorthTec’s high-performance sports lab at McKay Stadium in Kensington, Whangārei, and also to NorthTec’s Red Barn Gym, which was recently opened on the Raumanga campus.

The programme will be available fees-free in 2020, as part of NorthTec’s fees-free portfolio to assist the region’s economic recovery during the Covid-19 pandemic.
