Press release
ICAA partners with Online College Certificate Program in Personal Training for Older Adults
[September 23, 2007, Vancouver, BC.] The International Council on Active Aging is pleased to announce the launching of the Online College Certificate Program in Personal Training for Older Adults in partnership with colleges and universities around the country. Classes will begin on September 24, 2007. This certificate is an innovative Web-based Certificate (with an Optional Field Internship course) designed to ensure the development of safe and effective exercise programs for older adults by personal trainers, allied health/medical and fitness professionals, and the general public.
The certificate program has been designed to incorporate curriculum standards from the “International Curriculum Guidelines for Preparing Physical Activity Instructors of Older Adults in Collaboration” by the World Health Organization. A competitive advantage offered in the program is the optional field internship which enables students to practice senior fitness training concepts in a health and fitness setting. This program is offered in partnership with the International Council on Active Aging.
If you have questions about the certificate program and courses, you may contact Cody Sipe at seniorpft@yahoo.com
