THE COURSE

What this actually is.

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

IS THIS THE RIGHT COURSE

She asks if it is safe, and you are guessing.

Pregnancy is the point most trainers hand a client back, usually because they are worried rather than because they should. Knowing the actual contraindications changes that.

This is for you if

  • She asks if it is safe and you are guessing
  • You want to keep training clients through pregnancy and after

Look elsewhere if

  • You want to work clinically with complications
  • You are not prepared to work alongside a midwife or GP

ACCREDITATION

Who awards it, and what it is worth.

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.

Why we are able to offer it

98.8% of learners rate the course as satisfactory or better. A qualification people do not rate is not worth selling, so if the course does not do what we say it does, we should not be keeping your money.

Right one · before you start 14 days to change your mind.

You have 14 days from the day you enrol to change your mind, for any reason. Fully online courses keep the full 14 days. Where a course includes in-person elements and you attend one inside the 14 days, the cancellation right ends at that point.

Right two · after you finish The Cast Iron Guarantee.

A separate promise that applies once you have completed the course. It is not a cancellation right and it is not affected by the 14 day period. Both exist, and you do not have to choose between them.
