Outdoor fitness specialist British Military Fitness has launched a new Level 4 qualification in Strength and Conditioning aimed at exercise professionals looking to take their career to the next level.

Open to qualified professionals with a Level 3 Diploma in Personal Training, the BMF Academy Level 4 Award in Strength and Conditioning covers areas including Olympic lifting, speed, agility and quickness (SAQ), plyometrics and many more. It has been written by BMF Academy tutors, Mark Wood and Andy Kay, who both studied Strength and Conditioning at Twickenham University.

Recognised by Active IQ, the Level 4 Award in Strength and Conditioning will be available at the BMF Academy, which has locations in London, Birmingham, Manchester and Edinburgh. The course is four months long, with practical sessions taking place over four weekends.

“We’re always looking at new ways to upskill our own staff at British Military Fitness, and this new qualification will offer not just our own instructors but other personal trainers and sport coaches in the sector the chance to take their training to another level,” said Garry Kerr, operations director at British Military Fitness.

“The Level 4 Award in Strength and Conditioning offers fitness instructors a mixture of practical, face-to-face training and online learning to best suit each student’s unique learning style, and offers a wealth of knowledge across the areas of strength and conditioning.”
