Food Coaching VRE110
Food coaching is an emerging profession. It combines coaching skills with knowledge of nutrition to help clients choose better ways of eating and diets which are healthier for them.  Coaching is concerned with helping clients to define their goals, and then work out ways to achieve them.  Coaches encourage clients to look at their lifestyle and how it might influence their diets and goals.  While dieticians may be experts at telling people what to eat, food coaches are experts at motivating people and helping them to develop better strategies to improve their eating habits

Qualification - Foundation Diploma in Wellness Coaching VPS037
A Foundation in Wellness Can underpin a multitude of career opportunities - even opportunities not even conceived yet. This course can be a very real investment in future employment security. We all hear media buzz about how fast the world is changing and how most future jobs have not even been conceived. That is true, but it's also true that humans will always be concerned about their well-being. People will always have a need for services to reduce the risk of health and well-being  problems and other services to respond appropriately to those problems when they arise. ·One part of this course gives you a fundamental understanding of the human physical and psychological condition, and develops your awareness of and capacity to respond to needs as they evolve and emerge in the future. ·The other part of the course develops your capacity to assist and advise people to maintain or improve a better level of wellness in their lives. The exact job opportunities of the future are uncertain. We can't be sure if fitness instructors or life coaches will be good career paths, or if the world will change. We can be fairly sure, though, that there will be strong employment opportunities for people with an understanding of wellness, and the empathy and communication skills to help others in need.

Sports Psychology BPS106
Sports Psychology online course Learn how to motivate sports people using psychological techniques. Sports psychology is the study of the interaction between a person’s psychology and their participation in sport. Singer (1978) defined it as “the science of psychology applied to sport”. Whilst the field of psychology is relatively young, sports psychology is even younger. The field of sports psychology has much to offer, carrying out useful research that can be made available to athletes and coaches. Whilst knowing about sports psychology itself is important, there are other areas of psychology that are related, such as nutrition, life coaching, motivation and so on. This course enables you to gain a useful qualification that will focus on areas that are of specific interest to you. Student Comment: "The course was useful for my goalkeeper coaching practises. [It} met my expectations and gave me some good insights; I liked the way the course was structured, especially the way I could work at my own pace WITHOUT any pressure. The course has specifically helped with ideas for motivating players." Mario Rimati, Football Coach & Phys Ed Teacher, Italy - Sports Pscyhology course A must for anyone seriously interested in working with, or already works with, amateur and professional sports people.
