VRQ's - Vocationally Related Qualifications

Level 1

Designed to provide an introduction to the health and fitness industry and applied basic exercise and fitness knowledge. The type of job they could lead to is an assistant fitness instructor. They are equivalent to Key Stage 4, GCSE grades D-G or NVQ 1.

Level 2

Sometimes known as 'entry level,' certain Level 2 qualifications (e.g Certificate in Fitness Instructing) provide entry onto the Register of Exercise Professionals (REPs) at Level 2 and can lead to jobs as Gym Instructors or Aerobics teachers. Once qualified, many Level 2 qualifications offer routes into teaching different disciplines such as studio cycling, step and circuits. They are equivalent to GCSE grades A-C or NVQ 2.

Level 3

Designed to provide an advanced level of exercise and fitness knowledge, these qualifications provide the basis for careers in Personal Training or Advanced Fitness Instructing, both of which secure entry to REPs at Level 3. They also allow instructors to specialise in working with GP referred clients, older adults or ante and postnatal women. They are equivalent to A levels or NVQ 3. 

NVQ's - National Vocational Qualifications

NVQs are similar to VRQs, but are delivered differently. They offer 'on the job' training with candidates taught and assessed in the workplace. Other Zest qualifications can provide the underpinning knowledge and skills required for specific NVQs.
