CYQ offer a wide range of recognised and respected qualifications, from introductory to advanced levels including the UK's leading qualification in Exercise Referral.
Beyond qualifications, CYQ is the official accreditation unit for the European Health and Fitness Association (EHFA), quality assuring standards of fitness qualifications of participating training providers across Europe.
