Frequently asked questions

An exercise referral is a specific exercise programme where a medical professional refers their patient to an organised and prearranged fitness programme. This is not to be confused with a ‘recommendation to exercise’. An exercise referral plan is a supervised and structured programme that usually runs for a prearranged period of time with exercises tailored to the needs of the patient with a view to improving their state of health. There are now a range of qualifications available for people to successfully perform exercise referral sessions safely and effectively, the level 3 exercise referral course by Diverse Trainers is the ideal course for people to become an exercise referral practitioner.
As soon as you book your place the course begins, you will be assigned a tutor and registered for your individual e-learning package. Course duration is dependent on your time frame however most students will take around 6-8 weeks to complete the course.
Exercise Referrals can lead to transformative results for clients looking to improve how they deal with and manage their medical conditions. Not only is exercise referral important for the treatment of medical conditions, but its importance is also seen within the 'knock on' benefits it can bring clients, such as reduced anxiety and depression levels while moods are boosted, particularly for inactive and sedentary individuals. For clients dealing with chronic disorders, they may not have the confidence or knowledge to take fitness into their own hands, and this is where exercise referral helps, as ER instructors can be key to keeping clients motivated, teaching them the relevant skills and motivational tools to eventually become fully able to take charge of their own fitness journey. Lastly, Exercise Referral helps clients to explore alternative routes who would otherwise be struggling with their treatments due to nasty side effects which bring their own health problems such as weight gain, weight loss or fatigue. Simply put, each patient needs a solution tailored to their unique circumstances, and Exercise Referral helps to deliver a holistic treatment process.
