Assessment: Observed role-specific tasks in an authorised workplace or approved simulation, knowledge checks and review of a personal training practice portfolio. Actual workplace evidence is required where the eventual award or role specifies it.
Entry and recognition: Relevant foundation training or current occupational competence; client screening, supervised practice and required local permissions.
Practice boundaries: Screen client suitability and use qualified supervision. Programmes exclude diagnosis, prescription, invasive aesthetic procedures and rehabilitation outside the learner’s professional scope; refer contraindications to appropriate professionals.
Credential status: Proposed BEMCON programme only. No registered award, framework level, credit value or external certification is assigned.
Duration basis: Original curriculum-planning estimate, not an official prescribed qualification duration. The approved qualification specification, entry assessment and mandatory placement requirements take precedence.
