This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to develop movement programs and individual sessions for children aged up to 12 years, and to deliver those programs to groups of children. Programs are those which are designed to promote movement, physical activity and general wellbeing and may consist of multiple sessions. Programs may be developed for general consumer groups or customised to the needs of a particular client organisation, such as a school. They may include the use of basic equipment such as balls, ropes and mats, but do not include instruction involving specialised equipment found in gyms or other fitness facilities.

It requires the ability to evaluate and improve programs in response to feedback and evaluation.

This unit applies to group fitness instructors and personal trainers. They use discretion and judgment to plan programs and work unsupervised when delivering group sessions in settings such as fitness facilities, gyms, leisure and community centres, child care centres, schools and outdoor locations.

The skills in this unit must be applied in accordance with Commonwealth and State or Territory legislation, Australian standards and industry codes of practice.

No occupational licensing, certification or specific legislative requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication. However, individuals must receive formal clearance to work with children through completion of a working with children check required in the relevant State or Territory.
