Course in physical training or fitness

Name some of the institutes where I can pursue a course in physical training or fitness?


It is not mandatory to have a degree or a certificate; however it is wise to have one in order to outdo your competitors. A variety of training programs are available from different establishments, with a sole motive of development of sports in the country and sieving out the quality sports professionals from the rest. The course consists of both theoretical and practical sessions. A final exam, both for theory and practical is conducted at the end of the course, based on which, the certificate or degree is awarded. Always make sure you don’t get fooled by self trained quacks.
