An Exercise to Music / Aerobic Instructor's working day revolves around studio bookings, so it's not a nine to five role, giving you more flexibility for work life balance. Many Exercise to Music / Aerobic Instructors are self-employed, working freelance for one or more health clubs, gyms or leisure centres.

The Exercise to Music course will provide you with a firm skills base to apply to other studio and group training sessions, and could open up your career to a range of roles as a health and fitness professional.

The aim of the Focus Training Aerobic Studio Instructor is a simple one. With more people now choosing to participate in group exercise, this qualification will give you the latest practical skills and knowledge, allowing you to teach, safely and effectively, a fun group fitness session to music.

After booking your course you will be sent your learning materials comprising 2 manuals, a workbook, a DVD and your student guide.

Upon receipt of your learning materials, your tutor will contact you to help to plan your study. Both you and your Focus Training tutor will arrange course attendance days, telephone meeting appointments and course work due dates.

Once you have completed your home study work, you will be invited to attend practical workshops and assessment days. These fun and challenging days will allow you to practice your teaching skills using the latest moves and choreography, whilst receiving support and guidance from our tutors.

Approximately six weeks later you will return for your practical assessment, please note that you will need to bring 2 class participants with you.
