The Hull FC Sports College is offering students the chance to study Gym Instructing and Personal Training courses.
In addition to offering pathways for Rugby League players, Hull FC’s Centre of Excellence Sports College offers Level 2 Gym Instructing and Level 3 Personal Training courses.
The courses give young people who are not quite ready to make the step up to University the freedom to continue their academic studies.
There are currently places available on the Level 2 Gym Instructing and Level 3 Personal Training courses, with sessions delivered through a blend of face-to-face and online learning, allowing learners to access this course both from home or on campus.
Two three-hour sessions will take place on Monday and Tuesdays, followed by a three-hour practical session based at the state-of-the-art Allam Sports Centre at the University of Hull on Thursdays.
The Personal Training courses are a perfect stop-gap for learners leaving college and not quite ready for university or unsure on their next move.
Alternatively, these courses can set up individuals for a career within the sport and fitness industry, providing them with the relevant qualifications and experience to transition into employment within leisure centres, gyms or become a self-employed Personal Trainer.
Targeted at students who have previously studied at college on a level 3/A-level programme providing them with an underlying understanding of a range of sporting topics, the courses will see learners study the following units:
– Applied anatomy and physiology for activity for health and fitness
– Client motivation and lifestyle management
– Programming personal training sessions
– Delivering personal training sessions
– Nutrition to support a physical activity programme
– Business acumen for personal trainers
Students will also have the opportunity to play Rugby League alongside their studies, with weekly training sessions and fixtures throughout the academic year. Those 19 years of age before August 31st 2023 are eligible to feature for Hull FC’s Sports College team.
Learners can apply to register on the courses here
