Heartmoves Training
The Heart Foundation provides training programs for exercise and fitness professionals. The initial leader training course is a compulsory component to be accredited to deliver Heartmoves classes. Upon completion of the Heartmoves leader training course, accreditation is given for a two-year period. Every two years, a Heartmoves leader must complete a re-accreditation course in order to continue delivering Heartmoves classes.
The following leader training courses are currently provided:
