This course provides health and fitness professionals a comprehensive understanding of the requirements of orientation and pre-screening in the commencement of a fitness program. The course will review fitness testing techniques which may be used to assess a client’s level of fitness strength, flexibility and/or event/program preparedness.

On successful completion of this course you will be able to:

  • Understand the legal responsibilities and professional roles of health and fitness professionals
  • Reflect on the use of the Adult Pre-Exercise Screening System (APSS) in the fitness setting
  • Analyse the range of fitness testing methods they apply to a range of fitness levels and program requirements to assess baseline, progress and reach goals of the client.

How you will be assessed

To complete the course and receive your certificate you need to complete the course material (videos, readings and activities), marking 90% of steps complete, and achieve a required grade on the final assessment at the end of the course.

The final assessment is a 10 questions Multiple Choice Test which you must receive a score of 70% or above to pass. If you complete the course material and take notes you will be well prepared for the assessment.
