Case Study: Kimberley Killeen - Using eLearning to support study

Kimberley always wanted to be in the health and fitness Industry and she began making strides into the profession from an early age.

By the age of 18 she already had accredited Level 2 Gym and Exercise to Music, and Level 3 Personal Training qualifications under her belt, as well as a Kettle Bell qualification.

Working as a personal trainer whilst completing her sports studies degree at the University of Gloucestershire, Kimberley decided to take her career to the next level after graduating and landed a position at The Training Room.

The Training Room is a specialist provider of personal training courses, and Kimberly bolstered her teaching repertoire with spinning, circuits, gym-based boxing and nutrition, and now runs Level 2 Gym Instructing and Level 3 Personal Training diploma courses for The Training Room.

Continuing her great work with The Training Room, Kimberley recently completed a Level 3 Assessor Award using the new Active IQ Academy online resources to support her study. This Assessor qualification will allow her to assess the skills, knowledge, technical understanding and occupational competence of the next generation of personal trainers. 

She comments: "Throughout my career I have been conscious that the more qualifications I am able to take, the more options I will have in the industry. Active IQ offers the most prestigious health and fitness accreditations around, and I know that this has played a big role in enabling me to get where I am today.

By the same token, I wouldn't have been able to achieve these qualifications without Active IQ Academy's eLearning; the freedom of learning online with the Academy has allowed me to study around my other commitments, and gave me a wealth of specialised knowledge at my fingertips. I'll be using the Academy again as soon as I'm ready to take on a quality assurance role."
