Fitness Courses

Fitness Industry Education (FIE) is a distance learning provider offering e-learning Fitness Courses. All of our qualifications are accredited by CYQ (Central YMCA Qualifications) and Active IQ, the most widely recognised awarding bodies in the fitness industry. With each of our Fitness Courses also attaining accreditation by REPS (Register of Exercise Professionals) you are assured of a qualification that will enable you to gain employment in the fitness industry either employed at a health club/gym or freelance, working for yourself. With our unique e-Learning system there has never been an easier way to study Fitness Courses. You can study from anywhere in the world providing you simply have access to a computer. Studying at your own pace and in your own time you are in control of how fast you complete your qualification.

The qualifications are each divided into three basic elements; theory, practical work experience and assessment. You will begin any of our Fitness Courses with the theory element. Your online Study Guide will provide you with written text, quick time movies and flash animations all of which will come together to bring the subject matter to life and easy to learn. Completion of online worksheets will monitor your progress through the course and ensure you are retaining the information you have studied. Having completed the theory element you will attend a local gym or health club of your own choice, close to your own home, to observe the fitness staff and gain experience in the workplace. These two elements combined will enable you to prepare yourself to be assessed on both the theoretical and practical aspects of the course. If travelling to one of our Assessment Centres in the UK is not possible or simply inconvenient you have the alternative option to submit a video recording for your practical assessment. The video will be recorded at your local gym with your own participants and sent in to our offices to be marked by a fully qualified Assessor. In this way our fitness courses truly are distance learning – enabling you to study from anywhere around the world!
