More and more people are becoming aware of the benefits of fitness and a healthy lifestyle. People are participating in fitness and recreation programs in larger numbers. Many businesses, both small and large, are providing fitness and lifestyle programs for their employees. As a result, there is a demand for counsellors with a good understanding of benefits of a healthy lifestyle and how to achieve it.

It is the aim of the program to produce graduates with the knowledge and skills to provide future clients with sound physical fitness advice, design and conduct appropriate fitness programs as required, and provide counselling in related areas such as nutrition and active living. Graduates will be prepared for employment in private clubs, municipal or provincial government agencies, service clubs, YM-YWCAs, corporate programs, as well as self-employed opportunities.

This Certificate Program is offered in the evenings, 3 semesters per year at the Woodroffe Campus.
