Press Release Summary: These interactive, comprehensive Web-based Certificate
programs, several with an optional elective field internship course, are a
collaboration between Educational Fitness Solutions, the College-University Partners
Network™, industry experts, internship affiliates, a board of advisors, and national
organizations. These online programs will allow students from around the world to
fit courses into their busy work and home schedules.

Press Release Body: The certificates in Nutrition, Fitness, and Health are designed
to supply essential educational pathways and career opportunities to those seeking
to start a career in the emerging health/fitness industry, those actively involved
in the Allied health/medical field and registered dietitians who desire continuing
educational units/credits. In addition, those from the surrounding community who
want the most up to date information on how to become/stay healthy will benefit from
these certificates as well.
Courses are instructor led, and you benefit from ongoing guidance, instruction, and
interaction from instructors who hold either a master’s or doctoral degree in
exercise physiology, kinesiology, biomechanics, physical therapy, nutrition or other
exercise science related degrees. Our instructors are leading experts, national
presenters, and teachers in the health and fitness industry who will support their
students and can serve as valuable resources and mentors. The certificate programs
are offered three times per year in the Fall, Spring, and Summer semesters, and can
be completed in 3 to 6 months, depending on the certificate program. Courses may be
taken individually if desired and students have up to 2 years to complete a
certificate.
These online program’s will provide advanced education and CECs or CPEUs for group
fitness instructors, personal trainers, RD’s, physical therapists, nurses, athletic
trainers, and chiropractors seeking recertification or career advancement. In
addition, the growth in demand for a qualified fitness professional attests to the
fact that this is a valuable, much needed service profession. According to the U.S.
Department of Labor’s Bureau publication Occupational Outlook Handbook, overall
employment for fitness professionals is expected to increase 44% from 2002 to 2012.
These programs are offered in partnership with many of the nation’s leading health
