Reformed Qualifications

Reformed technical qualifications

As the fitness and physical activity sector adapts to evolving industry demands, Active IQ has introduced a comprehensive suite of 11 Level 2 and Level 3 technical qualifications as part of the qualification reforms.

These qualifications have been approved by IfATE, Ofqual, and the Department for Education (DfE), as part of cycle 1 of the reform and will receive government funding from 1 August 2025. They will ensure that learners gain high-quality, industry-recognised skills across a range of fitness and wellbeing specialisms.

Overview of Active IQ’s approved Level 2 and Level 3 technical qualifications

Active IQ’s Employer Engagement Strategy has been instrumental to the ongoing development and review of our qualifications and a key driver for the introduction of the new technical qualifications. Through a variety of channels, Active IQ is consistently gathering valuable feedback and insights from industry stakeholders, ensuring that our qualifications are not only current but aligned with the evolving nature of the fitness sector.

Starting in 2025, only qualifications developed under the IfATE process will be eligible for guaranteed funding.

The qualifications are structured to provide learners with targeted skills and knowledge that meet both current industry standards and anticipated future needs. The funding from 2025 aligns with government initiatives to ensure training aligns with industry demands.
