Field Placement

Field placement provides the opportunity for learners to observe and experience firsthand the operations and activities of Fitness and Health Promotion establishments and to explore their chosen field and assess their aptitude and abilities. Field Placement is a two day/week or 285 hour experience. It is primarily an opportunity for students to assist in Fitness and Health Promotion learning opportunities, under the supervision of a fitness and health professional. Students have the opportunity to practice and develop their skills through supervised experiences such as teaching group exercise classes, fitness testing, coaching individuals one on one to meet their fitness and healthy lifestyle goals, and planning and promoting programs.
