Covid-19 Rehabilitation Course

There are no hidden monthly or extra fees for this course. Once you've paid, the course is yours and you can re-access it as often as you like.

We will be continually reviewing the research and updating the course accordingly, you can continue to access your training and re-do it when any updates occur all included with your one off payment.

The content is based on current guidance and research, and previous qualifications that cover associated side effects and considerations, such as working with people with various respiratory conditions.

The content included is validated within its own field. Any content that is specific to COVID-19 alone has been evidenced from peer-reviewed journals as it emerges. Additionally, the course has been reviewed by various senior health and exercise professionals, all of whom are qualified in their respective fields.

As with any emerging conditions or disease, research must be undertaken, and then best practice is designed. Current research is observed within this training and updates to content will be made when available.

This is a CPD course that aims to raise awareness of the condition and provide you with information that will assist you in supporting people during their COVID-19 journey. The course content is sufficiently mapped to the CIMSPA Working with People with Long Term Conditions standard to obtain 3 CPD points.

This CPD course uses current literature and existing best practice to provide you with an outline of the basic skills that will be useful and should be considered when working with people who have had COVID-19. Rather than focusing on what you should do as regards rehabilitating COVID-19 patients, this course addresses the known factors that need to be taken into consideration when looking to advise those people about physical activity and exercise. Such factors will not apply to everyone, but are outlined in similar, accredited, and registered qualifications and professional standards within the industry such as CIMSPA Working with People with Long Term Conditions standard and previous Level 4 courses such as Cardiac Rehabilitation and Pulmonary Rehabilitation. The specific knowledge and skills required are not taught or explained during standard Level 3 Personal Trainer qualifications, yet there is a large expectancy that the fitness industry will be able to support local clinical teams in the rehabilitation process, or that fitness professionals will come into contact with individuals who have largely recovered from COVID-19, but may be experiencing some ongoing effects. As such, fundamentals like breathing techniques, fatigue management, functional assessments and basic exercise prescription is covered to upskill those expected to be working with these people to raise awareness of the issues they may encounter.

The novel nature of COVID-19 means that research is obviously limited and still evolving. However, the course has a small volume of information about the potential considerations for those suffering from Long COVID based on the currently available literature.
