Become a specialist and train ANYONE who refers a PAR-Q
Level 3 Exercise Referral Qualification - Online Qualification
Qualify online in under 6-weeks and work with anyone who FAILS a PAR-Q...
Everyone's talking about training clients, right?
We all know it's beneficial to train clients as soon as possible after being qualified, but what almost no one understands about training clients is that you cannot work with ANY client that FAILS a PAR-Q.
Even if the client gets a doctors note saying they are fit to train... the FITPRO who train them still needs to be exercise referral qualified if the client has a common clinical condition.
the BIGGEST myth to dispel... being qualified in exercise referral IS NOT just about working in a referral scheme.
