Introduction
This is the foundation of our training. Whether you are a group exercise instructor, personal trainer or looking to change careers, this is our entry level training. With this format, you have tutor led instruction time, and take personal responsibility to practice before, during and after tutor face to face time. There is a recommended period of at least 4 weeks teaching practice before your final assessment with a suggestion of 5 hours teaching practice per week.
Recommended 38 hours’ practice time – this covers self practice, home study, paperwork completion and practice teaching and is completed before, during and after the tutor attended days.

Foundation Diploma: Some centres have a delivery format that has less Face to Face time due to local considerations. When this occurs, the extra hours can be accrued through attendance of additional educational events in the subsequent months and years to qualify for a Standard Diploma. Typically, a Foundation Diploma has less observed practice time and fewer tutor led group classes, but educational content is not excluded.
