Behaviour Change and Motivational Interviewing Workshop

The workshop is split into four modules delivered over consecutive weeks.

Module One lasts approximately three hours and the remaining models approximately two hours long.

MI Workshop

The motivational interviewing (MI) workshop will teach you how to enhance your client engagement. This will improve your business by increasing your ability to attract and convert prospective clients from initial first contact. It will also enhance client retention as you will be able to monitor your clients progress (from a psychological perspective) and most importantly understand what actions to take if a client is starting to relapse and will possibly leave your programme. The average client is most probably worth several thousands of pounds per year to a trainer, can you afford to lose this much?

You will also be able to assist clients with other lifestyle behavioural changes such as those required for exercise adherence, smoking cessation.  This important counselling skill (MI) has been incorporated into the behaviour change workshop to enable trainers to guide clients who are ambivalent about lifestyle change (sitting on the fence) and help them take the next step.

Assessment

  • Throughout the course candidates will be set Coursework/Projects, worksheets etc and will be marked by their course tutor.
  • Multiple Choice Theory Examination – At the moment these are completed online. Once the leisure facilities are back open, they will be completed on the same day as the candidate’s practical assessment.

*eLearning

I can confirm the eLearning tool is not a mandatory studying resource. It is designed to offer a different learning style from the manual as some of our learners prefer visual and interactive learning as they struggle to study from the book alone.

The content within the eLearning is not different to the content within your manual, the eLearning, however, is laid out to break down each unit within the qualification and quiz yourself to let yourself know if you are getting the answers correct.

Active IQ has advised that you would require a laptop or computer to access your eLearning account as an iPad or mobile phone would not have the full capability to perform all the functions within the eLearning.

Please note the price will increase from £35.00 to £70.00 for the GYM and ETM course when purchasing after your booking has been processed and for the Personal Training course the price will increase from £55.00 to £90.00 when purchasing after your booking has been processed.
