Designed as an advanced level
course for those interested in studying towards a career at a more
senior level within the health and fitness industry. It is intended to
provide a comprehensive and professional training to consultant and
managerial level. Drawing on a wide range of resources and contributors,
the course is intended to suit students whom already have some background
knowledge in this field, either from self interest, employment in a
related area, or previous study. Students on the course also receive one
years' free practitioner's membership of the International Association of
Independent Therapists and Practitioners (www.iaitp.co.uk).

giving students the opportunity to gain a wide and comprehensive view of
both the profession and industry. The course consists of four main
sections with supporting texts, covering diet and nutrition, fitness
