Equal Opportunities and Diversity PolicyEqual Opportunities and Diversity Policy (v24.01) We promote a working environment in which diversity is recognised, valued and encouraged. We acknowledge the multicultural and diverse nature of the UK workforce and society in general. We are committed to principles of fairness and mutual respect where everyone accepts the concept of individual responsibility. These principles are embedded into Active Global Ltd selection, recruitment, programme delivery, assessment and quality management/assurance. We recognise that discrimination in the workplace/provision of training in any form is unacceptable and in most cases unlawful. We view any breach seriously. We will investigate and potentially take appropriate action where necessary when Active Global Ltd procedures are not followed by staff members or our learners. Definitions and Protected Characteristics Diversity refers to the presence of a wide range of individual differences among people in a particular group, community, or organisation. These differences can include but are not limited to race, ethnicity, gender, age, sexual orientation, disability, religious beliefs, socioeconomic status, and more. Victimisation occurs when an individual is treated unfairly or subjected to negative actions as a result of having made a complaint or participated in legal proceedings related to discrimination or harassment. It is the act of retaliating against someone for asserting their rights or reporting inappropriate behaviour. Direct discrimination happens when an individual is treated less favourably than others due to specific characteristics such as race, gender, disability, or any other protected attribute. This type of discrimination is explicit and can be easily identified. Indirect discrimination occurs when a policy, practice, or rule applies to everyone but has a disproportionately negative impact on individuals with certain protected characteristics. It may not be intentional, but the effect results in unequal treatment. Additional Terms Harassment refers to any unwanted behaviour, conduct, or communication that creates an intimidating, hostile, or offensive environment for an individual based on their protected characteristics, such as sex, race, or disability. Inclusion is the practice of actively involving and respecting individuals with diverse backgrounds, perspectives, and characteristics. It goes beyond mere tolerance and strives to create an environment where everyone feels valued and included. Unconscious bias refers to the automatic, unintentional preferences or prejudices that individuals may have towards certain groups of people, often influencing decision-making and behaviour without conscious awareness. Equal opportunity emphasises the fair and unbiased treatment of all individuals, ensuring that everyone has an equal chance to participate, succeed, and advance in all aspects of employment or education, regardless of their background. No learner, or anyone our organisation deals with, receives less favourable treatment because of their protected characteristics. The protected characteristics are: Age Disability Gender Reassignment Marriage and Civil Partnership Pregnancy and Maternity Race (including colour, nationality, ethnic or origin) Religion or Belief Sex Sexual Orientation Active Global Ltd Stance In adhering with this stance Active Global Ltd ensures equality of treatment for all by aiming to: raise awareness of equality and diversity. ensure that you are never discriminated against or receive less favourable treatment because of a protective characteristic. acknowledge any issues that could be defined as discrimination, victimisation or harassment with an appropriately sensitive and prompt investigation. comply with Active IQ in making suitable reasonable adjustments (https://www.activeiq.co.uk/for-centres/policies-and-procedures) which can apply to all of the listed protected characteristics. Your Responsibilities Each and every one of us is a stakeholder in the success of this policy. We expect you to make a positive contribution towards maintaining an environment of equal opportunity throughout the organisation. Please make sure you observe this policy at all times. In particular, you have individual responsibility to adopt the following: Do not take unlawful discriminatory actions or decisions contrary to the spirit of this policy Do not discriminate against, harass, abuse or intimidate anyone on account of their protected characteristics Do not place pressure on any other learners to act in a discriminatory manner Resist pressure to discriminate placed on you by others and report such approaches to an appropriate member of staff Co-operate when we investigate, including providing evidence of conduct which may amount to discrimination Co-operate with any measures introduced to develop or monitor equal opportunity Discrimination is not just treating one person less favourably than another. It can take place because:- someone associates with a person with a protected characteristic; someone is believed to possess a protected characteristic (even though they do not); We expect you to treat, and be treated by, other learners and the people our organisation deals with considerately and with respect. Where You Encounter Discrimination If you feel subject to discrimination of any kind as identified within this policy, make clear to the individual concerned that you find it unacceptable. Person-to-person discussion at an early stage may be enough to resolve your concern without involving anyone else. Alternatively, seek the help of a trusted colleague (e.g. a fellow learner or a trusted member of staff) and ask them to approach whoever has caused you offence. If discrimination continues, or you consider an instance to be particularly serious, you should consider who to highlight the issue with. For the majority of cases this will likely be your assigned tutor or assessor. However, we appreciate that this staff member may be implicated in your concern and therefore when this happens, you should approach the tutor/assessors line manager or course designated internal verifier. The staff member approached will carry out a suitable documented investigation or where more appropriate will refer the issue to an appropriate individual responsible for this area within the company. You can contact support@activeglobal.co.uk to log your concern and request assistance in any incidence of discrimination you may encounter. The result of the investigation into alleged discrimination will be communicated to you with information including the action taken and outcome highlighted if applicable or appropriate. If you feel dissatisfied about the outcome of the investigation and you want to appeal then you will need to contact support@activeglobal.co.uk with the subject title: ‘Investigation Appeal _ [Your Full Name]’ within five working days of receiving the outcome. Any Investigation Appeals will be dealt with directly by the Active Global Ltd Management Team and will not include any members of staff that may be directly implicated within the alleged incident. The assigned Active Global Ltd management representative will carry out/appoint a senior staff member to review these concerns, and respond accordingly with all proceedings recorded. Thank you for your contribution and commitment to making our policy work. Contact us If you have any queries about the contents of this policy, please contact: support@activeglobal.co.uk.

Failure to adhere to, or to circumnavigate, the requirements of Active IQ’s reasonable adjustments and special considerations policy. Process for making an allegation of malpractice or maladministration Anybody who identifies or is made aware of suspected or actual cases of malpractice or maladministration at any time must immediately notify the appropriate personnel at Active Global Ltd and Active IQ. In doing so they should put them in writing/email and enclose appropriate supporting evidence. If the area of malpractice or maladministration involves Active Global Ltd then the informant may bypass us as a centre and report the issue straight to Active IQ. All allegations must include (where possible): Centre’s name, address and number (as detailed on the company’s website and/or the company’s registered address). Learner’s name and Active IQ registration number (If known). Centre/Active IQ personnel’s details (name, job role) if they are involved in the case. Details of the Active IQ course/qualification affected or nature of the service affected. Nature of the suspected or actual malpractice or maladministration and associated dates. Details and outcome of any initial investigation carried out by the centre or anybody else involved in the case, including any mitigating circumstances. If Active Global Ltd has conducted an initial investigation prior to formally notifying Active IQ, Active Global Ltd should ensure that staff involved in the initial investigation are competent and have no personal interest in the outcome of the investigation. However, it is important to note that in all instances Active Global Ltd must immediately notify Active IQ if they suspect malpractice or maladministration has occurred as Active IQ have a responsibility to the regulatory authorities to ensure that all investigations are carried out rigorously and effectively. In all cases of suspected malpractice and maladministration reported to Active IQ they will protect the identity of the ‘informant’ in accordance with their duty of confidentiality and/or any other legal duty. Confidentiality and whistleblowing Sometimes the ‘informant’ will wish to remain anonymous. However, it is always preferable to reveal your identity and contact details to Active Global Ltd or Active IQ, and if you are concerned about possible adverse consequences, please inform Active Global Ltd or Active IQ that you do not wish to divulge your identity. If it helps to reassure you on this point, Active Global Ltd or Active IQ can confirm that we are not obliged (as recommended by the regulators) to disclose information if to do so would be a breach of confidentiality and/or any other legal duty. Whilst Active Global Ltd or Active IQ are prepared to investigate issues which are reported anonymously Active Global Ltd or Active IQ shall always try to confirm an allegation by means of a separate investigation before taking up the matter with those that the complaint/allegation relates to. At all times we will investigate such complaints from whistleblowers in accordance with relevant whistleblowing legislation. Active Global Ltd responsibility for preventing malpractice or maladministration To eradicate cases of malpractice/maladministration Active Global Ltd will ensure: all staff are aware of policies and procedures and receive appropriate training/ briefings on these staff have clear roles and responsibilities there is a documented internal quality assurance procedure/methodology that is clearly in place and is subject to regular internal reviews there are documented internal standardisation arrangements in place and evidence that these take place at least once a year learners are informed of their roles and responsibilities in terms of not doing anything that may be deemed as malpractice and jeopardise their potential achievements all assessment and internal verification activities are accurately recorded and carried out in accordance with Active Global Ltd internal quality assurance arrangements and in line with Active Global Ltd expectations as outlined in its qualification guides etc all registration and certification records are subject to appropriate internal review before submission all registration, assessment and certification records will be kept securely either as electronic records or as hard copies in a locked filing cabinet, in a locked cupboard for up to 3 years after the student has completed their course. Only authorised and appropriate members of staff will have access to them Active Global Ltd procedure to conduct a malpractice / maladministration investigation To embed effective arrangements to investigate instances of malpractice/ maladministration the following process will ensue. It is intended that the stages involve generic key activities; however, not all of these would be implemented in every case. Stage 1: Briefing and record-keeping: Anyone involved in the conduct of an investigation should have a clear brief and understanding of their role. All investigators must maintain an auditable record of every action during an investigation to demonstrate that they have acted appropriately. The officer assigning the investigating officer(s) will stipulate and/or provide secure storage arrangements for all material associated with an investigation in case of subsequent legal challenge. There may be occasions when a joint investigation occurs with Active IQ, with the roles of the two teams being clarified by Active IQ. It is the responsibility of Active Global Ltd to ensure their investigators are fully aware of the agreed roles and processes to follow during the investigation. Stage 2: Establishing the facts: Investigators should review the evidence and associated documentation, including relevant Active IQ guidance on the delivery of the qualifications and related quality assurance arrangements. Issues to be determined are: What occurred (nature of malpractice/substance of the allegations) Why the incident occurred Who was involved in the incident When it occurred Where it occurred – there may be more than one location What action, if any, Add Centre name has taken Stage 3: Interviews: Interviews should be thoroughly prepared, conducted appropriately and underpinned by clear records of the interviews. For example: Interviews should include prepared questions and responses to questions which should be recorded . Interviewers may find it helpful to use the ‘PEACE’ technique: Plan and prepare Engage and explain Account Closure Evaluation Face-to-face interviews should normally be conducted by two people with one person primarily acting as the interviewer and the other as note-taker. Those being interviewed should be informed that they may have another individual of their choosing present and that they do not have to answer questions. These arrangements aim to protect the rights of all individuals. Both parties should sign the account as a true record/reflection of what was covered/stated/agreed. Stage 4: Other contacts: In some cases, learners or employers may need to be contacted for facts and information. This may be done via face-to-face interviews, telephone interviews, by post or email. Whichever method is used, the investigator will have a set of prepared questions. The responses will be recorded in writing as part of confirmation of the evidence. Investigators should log the number of attempts made to contact an individual. Again accounts should be signed for agreement with written records to be formatted as non-editable PDF. Stage 5: Documentary evidence: Wherever possible documentary evidence should be authenticated by reference to the author; this may include asking learners and others to confirm handwriting, dates and signatures. Receipts should be given for any documentation removed from Active Global Ltd. Independent expert opinion may be obtained from subject specialists about a learner’s evidence and/or from a specialist organisation such as a forensic examiner, who may comment on the validity of documents. Stage 6: Conclusions: Once the investigators have gathered and reviewed all relevant evidence, a decision is made on the outcome. Stage 7: Reporting: A draft report is prepared and factual accuracy agreement obtained. The final report is submitted to the relevant staff member within Active Global Ltd for review and sign-off and shared with Active IQ and relevant parties within your organisation. Stage 8: Actions: Any resultant action plan is implemented and monitored appropriately and Active IQ notified.

Why is a commitment to CPD important for a fitness professional?In the fitness industry, a commitment to Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is crucial for several reasons: Staying Up-to-Date: The fitness industry is constantly evolving with new research, techniques, and equipment emerging. Regular CPD ensures fitness professionals stay current with these advancements, allowing them to offer clients the most effective and safe training methods. Maintaining Competence: CPD helps fitness professionals maintain their high level of competence by refreshing and expanding their knowledge base. This allows them to deliver better service, reduce risk of injury to clients, and potentially even expand their area of expertise. Credibility and Trust: Clients are more likely to trust and choose a fitness professional who demonstrates a commitment to ongoing learning. CPD showcases a dedication to providing high-quality services and staying at the forefront of the field. Career Development: Many employers in the fitness industry look favourably upon candidates who actively engage in CPD. It demonstrates a passion for the profession and a willingness to invest in personal growth, potentially leading to better career opportunities. Meeting Regulatory Requirements: Some fitness professional roles may have specific CPD requirements mandated by governing bodies. Regular CPD ensures compliance with these regulations and avoids any potential licensing issues. Overall, a commitment to CPD is a sign of professionalism and dedication in the fitness industry. It benefits both the fitness professional, by enhancing their skills and career prospects, the client , by ensuring they receive the most up-to-date and effective training methods, and the employer, by reassurance them that they are hiring a dedicated professional with up to date, regulated industry knowledge and skills.

Who is the course for?No experience or qualifications needed! Our Diploma in Personal Training is perfect for anyone looking to start a career in fitness. You'll learn all the essential skills, from foundational fitness knowledge to advanced personal training strategies. If you already have a Level 2 gym or group exercise instructor certification, you can receive credit for some of the assignments and exams in our programme and bypass certain modules. This way, you can spend more time on the advanced personal training topics and real-life case studies. Important: Before you can receive credit and bypass modules, we'll need to see proof of your Level 2 certification. If you do not hold a Level 2 certification prior to starting your course, then you will need to complete all parts of the programme and successfully complete all coursework assignments and assessments.

As an internationally recognised qualification, all students receive the same certification and industry standard of recognition, regardless of their phycial location when completing the course. If you plan to work as a Personal Trainer or Gym Instructor in a non-UK country, then you will need to check the governing body requirements in your own region regarding any additional requirements that may apply to gain employment or work as an independent professional. In most countries, a UK level 3 accredited qualification is recognised by the local governing body and you will just need to apply to have your qualification transferred over (plus hold the necessary insurances). As every country has its own requirements, we cannot give specific advice for each country, however, we know it is relatively simple to transfer your qualification to work in countries such as the UAE, Singapore, Brazil, India, USA, Europe, Australia, Canada and South Africa. Please speak to your course advisor if you have further questions.
