Recently, I have received many letters and calls from fitness coaches and enthusiasts, and raised many questions about how to choose and obtain a coaching certificate. Now, according to three kinds of training activities sponsored by China Aerobics Association, I will answer your general questions.
First, the cultivation of first-class aerobics coaches
Q: Is the certificate of aerobics instructor recognized by the state?
A: The Measures for the Implementation of National Aerobics Instructors' Professional and Technical Grades (hereinafter referred to as the Measures) was promulgated by the State Sports General Administration 1998. According to the technical grade system of social sports instructors and the specific situation of aerobics, the implementation measures are formulated. As the technical level of social sports instructors is not managed separately, the State Sports General Administration has approved two individual (model airplane and aerobics) instructors' professional technical level systems as a pilot, and the highest level-national level is reported to the State Sports General Administration for approval.
Q: Are aerobics instructors graded? Is there an expiration date?
A: The professional and technical levels of aerobics instructors in China are set to national level, first level, second level, third level and fourth level, and classified management and training are implemented. The training, examination and approval below the first level shall be managed by the local sports administrative departments below the provinces and cities. The graded training of aerobics instructors is a systematic training from elementary to advanced. Aerobics instructor grade certificate is the qualification certificate of national fitness and aerobics full-time and part-time coaches, and it is the symbol of instructor's professional level. The national aerobics instructor certificate is valid for two years.
Q: College students and sports workers who are about to graduate want to become part-time or full-time aerobics instructors. How should they choose their own certificates? Which certificate should they take first?
A: It is suggested that coaches who have never participated in the training and have not obtained any certificates should first attend the aerobics instructor training class organized by the local aerobics authorities below the first level, because the graded training of aerobics instructors can systematically learn the basic knowledge, common sense and theory of teaching, and design and teach the basic skills of aerobics instructors. However, if there is no local aerobics instructor training class, you can also directly participate in the national aerobics instructor training class (the class is mainly national).
Q: I am already a fitness instructor and have some basic knowledge and experience. Can I attend the national instructor training class directly?
A: In the first few years after the implementation of aerobics, as a special period, national coaches are allowed to directly participate in national training courses without a first-class certificate, but they must pass the examination to obtain a national certificate (note that it is not a grade certificate), and then declare according to the national declaration conditions. After being evaluated by the National Coach Evaluation Committee and approved by the State Sports General Administration, they can obtain the national title.
Two, about fitness and aerobics instructor certificate.
Q: What training do I need to take to get a personal fitness instructor's certificate or an aerobics instructor's certificate?
A: In the past two years, fitness clubs have developed into comprehensive and humanized services, and the types and courses of fitness are constantly increasing and innovating. The training of aerobics instructors is the training of systematic knowledge and skills of fitness instructors, excluding the training of special and popular courses. In order to enable the majority of fitness instructors to learn and master the latest and most needed fitness courses and methods in a timely and guaranteed manner, China Aerobics Association cooperates with Asian Fitness Training Institute. In 2003, a number of personal certificate courses, such as professional fitness (personal trainer) certificate, water aerobics instructor certificate, fitness ball instructor certificate, Pilates mat exercise certificate, nutrition and weight control consultant certificate, were officially opened, and the international professional fitness coach qualification certificate was jointly awarded. These trainings will be adjusted every year according to the needs of the development of international and domestic fitness clubs.
Q: What are the requirements for participating in the training of professional fitness (personal trainer) coaching certificate or other single-subject coaching certificate?
Answer: Anyone who is engaged in aerobics and fitness teaching in gymnasiums (clubs, etc.). ), schools and other parts of society can participate in the primary course training of single-subject coach certificate, and the advanced class training must hold the primary coach certificate or the national aerobics instructor certificate.
Three. International comprehensive training activities
Q: How to know the latest development trends, latest fitness courses and latest fitness methods of international fitness clubs?
A: In order to adapt to the gradual internationalization of the fitness market after China's entry into WTO, China Aerobics Association will hold an international fitness conference once a year, including three parts: professional aerobics instructor training, personal trainer training and fitness club manager training. This kind of training is suitable for those who have passed the systematic training. At this meeting, you can learn about the development trend, management methods and means of fitness clubs, popular courses and fitness methods of international fitness clubs, the style of internationally renowned coaches, teaching methods and so on. You can learn and communicate with colleagues in international and domestic industries at such meetings every year.
