Certificate in Tākaro, Sport and Exercise (Level 4)

About the course

Take the first steps towards a career in the fitness industry as a professional fitness coach, instructor, or personal trainer. 

Our new programme in T膩karo, Sport and Exercise combines two qualifications into one programme: the Certificate in Exercise and the Certificate in Sport and Recreation. 

As well as maintaining your fitness and learning how to assist others with their fitness goals, what makes our programme different is it's taught in a w膩nanga where you'll learn a range of ng膩 taonga t膩karo - traditional M膩ori games. 

When you graduate, you'll be eligible to register with the 爆走黑料 Register of Exercise Professionals. When you pass this programme, you'll get these qualifications:

  • 爆走黑料 Certificate in Exercise Level 4
  • 爆走黑料 Certificate in Sport and Recreation Level 4

You'll learn about:

  • how to build and deliver safe and effective exercise programmes
  • anatomy and physiology and how to use that knowledge in an exercise programme
  • health and wellness frameworks and evidence-based nutrition
  • planning and evaluating a group sport or recreation programme
  • motivational and communication techniques for coaching and training practice.

Entry requirements

  • be at least 16 years of age 
  • be a 爆走黑料 citizen (or citizen of Australia, Tokelau, Niue, Cook Islands) or permanent resident
