Why study this subject?

This qualification reflects the role of instructors who perform a range of activities and functions within the fitness industry. Depending on the specialisation chosen, this qualification provides a pathway to work as an instructor providing exercise instruction for group, aqua or gym programs. They work independently with some level of autonomy in a controlled environment such as fitness, leisure, aquatic and community centres where risks are managed through pre-existing risk assessment and hazard control processes.

Students who specialise in Group Exercise Instruction deliver exercise sessions designed for participation by a group of clients with a mix of ages/fitness levels. Sessions may be freestyle, pre-choreographed or circuit style. These individuals instruct and demonstrate complete exercise sessions to groups with limited individual interaction.

Students must have a passion for and or interest in pursuing a career in the fitness or sports industries. They must have good quality written and spoken communication skills and an enthusiasm / motivation to participate in physical activity sessions.

Assessment Techniques

Program delivery will combine both class-based tasks and practical components in a real gym environment at the school. This involves the delivery of a range of fitness programs to clients within the school community (students, teachers, and staff).

A range of teaching/learning strategies will be used to deliver the competencies. These include: • Practical tasks • Hands-on activities involving participants/clients • Group work • Practical experience within the school sporting programs and fitness facility • Log book of practical experience

Evidence contributing towards competency will be collected throughout the course. This process allows a student’s competency to be assessedin a holistic approach that integrates a range of competencies.
