Advanced Resistance Training Certification

Advanced resistance training is essential knowledge for personal trainers who want to take their clients’ resistance training to the next level. We begin with an in-depth look into muscle function and describe the effect that advanced resistance training has on the various muscle groups.

We then move on to the science of designing and tailoring training programmes for a variety of client types by using prescribed protocols and tools for advanced resistance training.

Two modules are devoted to practical resistance training techniques and include a full description of each technique, the pros and cons of these techniques and detailed practical examples

Finally, we take a look at the importance of health screening, to ensure that client eligibility for these programmes is prioritised and that client safety is guaranteed.

This course was amazing and fun!

Not only was it very informative and well categorized and divided into easy learning sections, but also very complete and offering tons of valuable information to succeed as a Landscaper.

The illustrations and photos are very helpful and provide a clear image of how to do things and how things ought to look and also help for future reference along with the worksheets that are downloadable which assist in the learning process.

Received course work as a gift from my spouse. Each module was easy to follow, great content and exceptional graphics and illustrations.

I especially appreciated that I was able to take the modules at my own pace, according to the schedule that fit within my work and free time. Tests where 5 questions based at the end of each module and a 50 question test at the completion of all mode’s.

A wonderful experience, would highly recommend.

This course was great! Was so interesting and enlightening to what a day in the wedding planning business will be like! It was so easy to do and easy to fit it around my work schedule. Taught me so much and has really given me an amazing feeling about starting my new career! I would highly recommend! Better than paying thousands to go back to college when you can do this in your own time at your own pace and still learn just as much, if not more! When completing this course, I felt proud and excited for my next steps so thank you so much New Skills Academy for helping me accomplish my big leap into starting a new adventure and finally doing something I love!

Whilst doing an internship in an Estate Agency, I decided to study the Estate Agent Diploma to gain a better understanding of the regulations and the best ways to go about visits and building my network. I found the course to be very comprehensive and easy to follow.

I’d recommend this to anyone looking to broaden their knowledge of the field of Estate Agency. I found the time estimates to be right if you are simply reading, but I took several pages of notes and so took longer, as I wanted to really understand what I was reading.

Overall, comprehensive and easy to follow.
