Overview

The "Diet, Nutrition & Exercise for Children Level 3 (QLS)" course is a comprehensive program focused on promoting healthy lifestyles in children. It covers essential topics such as the importance of a balanced diet, the role of different nutrients in a child's development, and the significance of regular physical activity. The course also delves into food safety, healthy eating habits, and the impact of diet and exercise on childhood health issues.

Students learn about the five main food groups, essential nutrients, and ways to foster healthier eating habits in children. The course is designed to equip educators, parents, and childcare providers with the knowledge and skills necessary to guide children towards a healthier lifestyle. By the end of the course, participants are well-prepared to educate parents and caregivers on the importance of balanced nutrition and regular exercise in a child's life.

This distance learning course on Diet, Exercise, & Nutrition for Children is meticulously designed to empower you with the essential theoretical knowledge, resources, and insights required to educate both parents and children up to 12 years old on adopting healthier lifestyles.

Fostering healthy habits in children is of paramount importance as the concern for their fitness and well-being continues to grow. The rising prevalence of childhood obesity, often attributed to poor dietary choices and a lack of physical activity, underscores the urgency of this matter, given the associated health risks.

The course’s core objective is to instil a comprehensive understanding of nutrition and exercise specifically tailored to children. You’ll gain profound insights into the human body, recognising how judicious dietary decisions and intelligent exercise can positively impact it. Conversely, you’ll also grasp how suboptimal food choices can lead to adverse health consequences in the long run, emphasising the imperative need for education and lasting lifestyle changes.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
