Active IQ is reinforcing the training and assessment of its robust, refreshed CIMSPA endorsed Level 3 Diploma in Personal Training by providing the new Flair for Fitness app to learners and trainers
Active IQ's Level 3 Diploma in Personal Training has been redeveloped to be in line with CIMSPA's industry standards
First to market in November 2016, the Active IQ Level 3 Diploma in Personal Training is currently being implemented by over 15 training centres in the UK. This ‘work ready’ employer-led qualification was refreshed and redeveloped to ensure a far greater emphasis on updated content and a more rigorous assessment.
Full support To help centres and learners navigate the updated course, Active IQ has created a complete suite of updated wraparound resources including: • Work ready support and lecture packs • Fully updated eLearning materials • A completely refreshed learners’ manual in line with current trends.
As a result, the Active IQ Level 3 Diploma in Personal Training is more valid and engaging than ever before and completely in line with employer needs and the new industry standards set out by CIMSPA.
Adding some Flair Active IQ has added a further layer of scrutiny to its assessment process in the form of the new TRAIN ME Flair for Fitness app. Flair for Fitness is a pioneering technology for operators, PTs and their clients, which uses a sophisticated algorithm to measure a PT’s performance and success using input from themselves, their employer and clients.
First to market – again Active IQ is the first to partner with Flair for Fitness and started using the platform with its Advanced Level 4 PT learners this year. The app helps learners capture and review relevant data from their learning process. As they record the course milestones via their phone, tablet or laptop using Flair, the training centre assessors can view this in real time ready for review and feedback.
Listening to operators “Speaking to employers we clearly identified a need for learners’ training and assessment to be more transparent and rigorous,” says Jenny Patrickson, Active IQ managing director. “Our refreshed Level 3 Diploma in Personal Training was significantly updated in line with industry needs and a year down the line we are seeing great results from centres and learners,” she says. “Recording progress, purpose-driven training, milestone measurement and tracking evidence-based progress in real life situations in real time are all crucial upgrades for today’s learners and trainers,” says Jenny. “Combining Flair for Fitness with our now tried and tested refreshed Level 3 Diploma in Personal Training content is a real step forward for us and the industry.”
Great Point Of Difference
Freedom Leisure is one of the employers successfully delivering the Active IQ Level 3 Diploma in Personal Training with five learners currently on the course. They chose the diploma as it is more in line with where the industry is heading and, as an employer provider under the levy, it streamlines into the standards.
In addition, Freedom Leisure trialled the Flair for Fitness app across its Brighton and Hove contract to good effect. “Collectively, the feedback gave us very valuable data, a clearer picture and in-depth analysis of our PTs’ programming,” says Ryan O’Gorman, Freedom Leisure Health & Fitness Manager. “I can see how the ‘helicopter view’ would prove really helpful in keeping an eye on learners’ progress. Also, introducing Flair for Fitness to PTs as they learn will help embed this new system early on to ensure they adopt this measure of best practice once they are qualified. It’s a great point of difference that Active IQ is offering at the training level.”
