- Learn about the science of human fitness
- Develop solid foundation skills for a lifelong career in fitness or a related industry
- Start any time, study at your own pace under a team of university trained and experienced professionals
The fitness industry is huge, and increasingly sophisticated.
Generations past would attend fitness classes at gyms that were manned by instructors who had limited education and experience. Today's leaders in the fitness industry are increasingly a very different breed though - entrepeneurial businessmen with a sound understanding of exercise science and thousands of hours of formal education in human biology, health and exercise science. This course is designed to distinguish you from the average fitness professional, and equip you with the knowledge and skills that tomorrows fitness professional needs.
While many people enter the fitness industry by doing a short fitness leaders certificate; the entry level course is often relatively short, and the jobs available to such graduates are often relatively low paid, and with limited opportunity for advancement. This course will set you apart from lesser trained fitness professionals.

How will this course advance my career?
Learning Cloud programs have been developed in response to industry demand and are specifically designed to equip graduates with work-ready skills. Each participant will be trained and assessed in theory and in practical tasks and Real-world exercises are used throughout the program.
Studies prove, time and again, that college-educated workers earn more than those with only a high school qualification. College graduates often enjoy additional benefits, including greater job opportunities and promotions. Though the proof for greater earning potential exists, some might wonder whether the cost of the education warrants the overall expense in the long run.
College Graduate vs. Non-Graduate Earnings
The National Centre for Education Statistics (NCES) analyses employee earnings data biennially, according to education level. Findings indicate that workers with a qualification earn significantly more than those without. Since the mid-1980s, education has played a large part in potential wages, with bachelor's degree holders taking home an average of 66% more than those with only a high school diploma do. While college-educated workers' wages have increased over the past two decades, those with only a high school education have seen decreases in annual salaries in the same time period (nces.ed.gov).
