Completed level 5, goes with the 5 stars :)

Wow what a ride of learning, though it was over lockdown, and zoom was the only option over that time, we still got there in the end and was still able to get in after enough practical application to then go and Practise. I was with the Albany campus, David as the tutor, great enthusiastic teacher and coach, kept it real with his experience in the industry. Online learning with Steve at the helm of most video tutorials was educational as much as humorous, just from Steves presentations alone gives you ideas of great communication skills as a Pt and communication built upon knowing your client's. The quizzes are challenging and are great for memory recall. What really stood out for me is the quality of care towards clients that really nails the professional aspect of the role as a Pt, including the knowledge and practical application of personalizing a complete care package to each client based on their needs and wants. There is a lot to learn, but enough practical aspects to lock-in the knowledge through doing it. My take away is that I have progressed in communication not just as a PT but more so in general taking more care in communication, and moving beyond my personal interests which can be limiting towards others if I myself have not trained outside of my own needs and wants, by doing this I will at best cater for other's.

I have recently completed the level 4 and 5 Fitness leader and PT course through the Albany campus. To say this course has totally changed my life would be an understatement! It has not only helped me understand the science behind health and fitness and how to implement with my clients but also helped me completely transform the way I train myself. I found the course to be quite challenging sometimes, due to everyday life and unforeseen circumstances but I felt completely supported the whole way through. My tutor Kelly was extremely thorough in classes and always a phone call or email away if we needed. I will be forever grateful for everything she has taught me and am so excited for my future as a PT. After graduating this course I am totally confident going into industry and know I am going to make a difference!

P.S have met the coolest life long, like minded friends during my time at NZIHF too! Bonus!
