Training in the Certificate III in Fitness commences at Bimberi Youth Detention Centre
On the 7th July, Australian Vocational Training Academy commenced delivery of the Certificate III in Fitness to young people at Bimberi Youth Detention Centre. The Certificate III in Fitness is designed to equip successful participants with the necessary skills to supervise exercise participation, design safe and effective training programs, instruct and teach safe exercise performance and undertake client assessment to determine capacity to engage in physical exercise. The program is funded under the ACT Department of Education Priority Support Program which is designed to provide access to training opportunities for people who cannot readily access, or who do not have a high chance of success in, other government funded training programs.
The program has been approached with enthusiasm by the participants and we look forward to seeing them working in health and fitness centres across Canberra.
