LEADER TRAINING

We run warm water and chair-based exercise training programs for health professionals and peer leaders. Whether you’re a health professional and work with people with musculoskeletal conditions, or you have a musculoskeletal condition (e.g. arthritis, back pain, osteoporosis) and want to run classes for your peers, we have something for you.

Our training will give you the knowledge and skills to assist you in providing exercise classes for people with musculoskeletal and other health conditions.

Participants may enrol in either one or both components of the course. As well as leader training, we also run leader updates for trained leaders.

Our warm water and chair-based training programs are conducted by health educators with tertiary qualifications in health related disciplines, as well as Certificate IV in Training and Assessment. The training programs are accredited by Physical Activity Australia and/or Fitness Australia, and professional development points are awarded on completion.
