Understand the Risks Involved In Fitness to Enable You To Better Manage Them
Any sort of physical exercise has risks associated with it. When you don't move your body properly; muscles or bones can be damaged -or worse. Activity in the wrong environment or with the wrong equipment can also be risky.
If you understand the risks though, you can minimize them and make accidents or any other problems far less likely.
Some may say that the best way to avoid fitness risk is to just avoid exercise; but that is even more of a risk to long term health and wellbeing.
This course helps you understand the risks associated with fitness activities; and to manage them much better than you otherwise might -for yourself; for friends and family, and for clients.

Workload
Study when, where and however much you want. For most students, the course can be completed with a total of around 100 hours of study; and a commitment close to that may be needed to achieve desired learning outcomes.
Assessment
Self Assessment Tests are presented throughout the course. These are essentially an automated quiz. When you undertake a "SAT" or "Self Assessment Test", you will be able to see what you got correct, and what was incorrect; and in that way, you can identify your weaknesses.
Assignments are given at the end of each lesson. You should complete this assignment, paying careful attention to follow what is asked of you. It can be just as important to learn to work to specification, as it is to learn about the topic you are studying. Graduates who develop a habit of working to specification with vegetable growing, will impress others, and will be more efficient when self employed.
A Final Exam is offered upon satisfactory completion of all assignments. This is optional. If you choose to apply for and do this exam, you will have the possibility of obtaining a "formal credit" or "Pass Certification" for this course. A fee applies.
