Level 2 aqua instructor course

Aquatic fitness is very different from land-based exercise and is an incredibly popular and in-demand mode of group exercise. If you want to learn how to teach aqua-based exercise then this aqua instructor course could be just what you are looking for.

Group exercise continues to grow in popularity and taking this activity away from the studio provides an exciting change of pace for those you teach. Our level 2 aqua instructor course teaches you everything you need to know about planning and teaching effective exercise in water. You’ll also discover how water affects the body and how you can use this to your advantage to teach exciting, engaging and effective water-based classes.

Our aqua qualification is very flexible and is especially popular with exercise to music teachers and personal trainers looking to expand on their repertoire and increase the number of classes, sessions or services that they can offer. It also makes for a great piece of continuing professional development (CPD) evidence for those looking to learn new skills or to accrue some extra CIMSPA points.

The on-demand structure of this aqua instructor course ensures that you can learn and progress at your own pace. If you want to take a more intensive approach, you can qualify in a matter of weeks. If you want to take your time and master the content before you complete your assessments, then this is also fine because you’ll have up to 6 months to finish your assessments.

• Entry requirements

  Our aqua instructor course (Award) has been designed and priced for qualified fitness instructors looking to add more skills to their profession. Therefore, if you don’t already have a recognised and current level 2 fitness instructor qualification, you will need to select and complete the Certificate version of the course, which includes anatomy and physiology, health, fitness and professionalism. These additional modules would incur an additional fee of £220.00. Once complete, you'll receive a full Level 2 Certificate in Water-Based Exercise.
  
  You will also need some practical experience of participating in water-based exercise sessions, so if you don't have this experience, we strongly advise that you start attending sessions as soon as you enrol and that you give yourself longer to complete the programme.
