Learn how to safely support clients through pregnancy and postnatal recovery with informed training and nutrition guidance.

Supporting clients through pregnancy and postnatal recovery requires more than general training knowledge. It requires understanding, care and the ability to adapt. This Level 3 Award is designed to give you the confidence to coach safely and appropriately during both pre and postnatal stages. You will build a clear understanding of how the body changes, what to consider when programming, and how to support clients with both exercise and nutrition. From there, the focus moves to application. How to adapt sessions. How to manage intensity and progression. How to support recovery and long-term health while keeping clients active and engaged. By the end of the course, you will be able to coach pre and postnatal clients with more clarity and confidence, providing support that is both safe and relevant. This is about helping clients move through important life stages with the right support in place. Accreditation: Industry-recognised Level 3 Award

How the body changes through pregnancy and recovery and how to adapt exercise and nutrition to coach safely across both stages.
This is a CPD course rather than a regulated qualification. It is not awarded by an awarding organisation and it does not sit on the Ofqual framework. What it does is give you something specific you can use with clients on Monday, and a Create certificate that records it.
You will receive a Level 3 Award in Supporting Pre and Post Natal Clients With Exercise and Nutrition, recognising your ability to coach safely and appropriately during these stages.
