Elevate Your Team With Our Level 2 Award in Children’s Physical Activity Instructor

The field of children’s physical activity is constantly evolving, and new approaches are transforming the way professionals engage young people in physical exercise. As children’s activity levels and health outcomes continue to be a focus, it’s essential for instructors to deepen their understanding of child development, age-appropriate exercise techniques, and safe, effective strategies for motivating children to stay active. The Level 2 Award in Children’s Physical Activity Instructor equips professionals with the essential skills and knowledge to deliver fun, engaging, and effective physical activity programmes, helping children improve their strength, coordination, and overall well-being.
