Issue Date: April 2024


This unit describes the skills required to develop and monitor the effectiveness of a basic group fitness program within Defence. It also establishes the scope and limitations of the program that achieves the determined group or organisational fitness requirements.

This unit was developed for those working as physical trainers or combat fitness leaders providing basic fitness training support to small groups or organisations in an operational setting, but may be relevant to others who work in this field. This function may be performed in addition to their primary trade or employment.

The skills and knowledge described in this unit must be applied within the legislative, regulatory and policy environment in which they are carried out. Organisational policies and procedures must be consulted and adhered to.

Those undertaking this unit require clearance by a supervising fitness instructor, however, they will work independently, while performing routine tasks in a range of familiar and predictable contexts.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to unit at the time of publication.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)
