Fitness & Sport

Fitness & Sport is a busy professional sector. More and more of us are keen on keeping fit. There is also a focus on a scientific approach to fitness.

As a result there has been steady growth in the number of jobs in the fitness industry. Years ago physical trainers and gym instructors did not need qualifications. That’s no longer true. If you want to work as a personal trainer, a fitness instructor or a coach, you will need qualifications.

Other careers in the area include sports nutrition, sports management, community sports development.
