Jobs in the Leisure Industry
The leisure industry offers a whole range of different jobs in a variety of locations, perfect for anyone looking for an interesting career field, either to get started or to change tracks.
Leisure industry jobs can be found in sports centers, health clubs, gyms, local authority facilities such as pools and outdoors centers - just about anywhere that people go to have fun!
If you are looking for jobs in the sports or fitness side of things, then you will need to get qualified. For sports, training and certification in the individual sport is essential - every type of sport has its own governing body that administers training and certification - for example, the FA for football, and the ASA for swimming. Contact them for details of training course.
The qualification for fitness based work is a little different - most people start with the NVQ Level 2 Exercise and Fitness qualification. This is an essential course for anyone interested in working in this field, and covers all the basic areas you'll need to know:
- Client inductions
- Safe and effective use of gym equipment
- Free weights
- How to design a personal training programme for a client
- Circuit training
The NVQ Level 2 will qualify you to work in a gym or health club as a fitness instructor, and is an essential first step for anyone interested in the fitness side of this business.
