Helping others achieve a healthy lifestyle.
The two-year Fitness and Health Promotion Ontario College Diploma program prepares you to perform the roles and responsibilities of fitness and health consultants who plan, promote, and deliver a wide variety of services. These include activity and educational programs that enhance the health, fitness, and well-being of individuals and groups in diverse settings.
In this program, you learn the skills and knowledge to live a fit and healthy lifestyle, which, in turn, allows you to help others achieve their own health and lifestyle goals. You prepare to meet the demands of an evolving, multi-dimensional market for fitness, wellness, and health promotion service provision.
Field placements in the program provide industry experience. These varied placements allow you to apply the skills and knowledge gained in classes to a workplace setting, as well as gain exposure to potential employers and add to your overall marketability and employability after graduation.
This program prepares you to challenge certification exams in group fitness and personal training with canfitproTM and personal training with the Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology (CSEP). You are also prepared to pursue other certifications in group fitness and personal training nationally and internationally.
