OVERVIEW

COURSE OVERVIEW

Fitness Institute’s courses are supported with a wide range of evidenced-based learning materials that will detail how to design safe and effective movement programs using games and fitness activities.

Many of the materials provided can be used to create individual sessions and programs, well beyond completing the assessment tasks.

A mentor from a sport, fitness, recreation facility will be required to assist in the completion of this course.

Other assessment tasks for this unit are:

Knowledge questions
Case Studies from which three (3) movement programs are to be designed
Review and evaluation of industry standard movement programs
Development of three (3) thirty-minute group sessions that are to be delivered to at least six (6) people

Access to an established kids fit program will be a bonus, but if this is not possible, scenario-based training can be organised with six (6) adults to help with completing the three (3) x 30-minute group sessions required for practical assessment.
