Pelvic floor exercises

Minimum requirements

In principle, you must provide evidence of 600 hours of training in the subject areas listed under Training content . However, certification is also possible through a combination of training and creditable, proven practical experience in a maximum ratio of 50:50.

The above minimum requirements apply to certification at NQF level 4.
If you are not self-employed and/or only run programmes according to a specified concept, certification at level 3 or 2 is also possible. Please contact QualiCert to find out the exact minimum requirements.

Training content

The following training content must be covered for certification:

• at least 12 - 15 h functional anatomy, performance physiology
• at least 10 - 12 hours of training science and training theory
• at least 2 - 4 h exercise behaviour and behavioural change, motivation
• min. 4 - 6 h Prevention and training
• min. 2 - 4 h Evaluation, assessment (performance/health status)
• min. 4 - 6 h General didactics, methodology, lesson and training design

• min. 4 - 6 h Functional anatomy of the pelvic floor
• min. 8 - 10 h Specialised training of the pelvic floor muscles
• min. 4 - 6 h The pelvic floor in posture and movement/ergonomics
• min. 6 - 8 h Nutritional science, energy balance and energy balance

The proportion of the subject area "Nutrition, energy balance and energy balance" may not exceed 60 hours.

Re-certification

There are clear requirements for the successful re-certification of staff in the area of further training, which are checked by QualiCert. The number of training days to be verified is based on the following table:

Proof of practical experience

Practical leadership experience can be credited at 50%, i.e. 2 hours of leadership experience can be credited as 1 hour of training.

If you wish to have your practical leadership experience in movement programmes credited, you must enclose evidence with the certification application. This can be job references, payslips, AHV statements or comparable evidence. Practical experience as a leader of exercise programmes that is only proven by self-declaration cannot be taken into account.

Health insurance recognition

The certification of your qualification as a course instructor is part of the course provider certification.
This alone is not sufficient for participants in your courses to be able to claim contributions towards the course costs from their health insurance providers. Certification as a course provider is also required for this.
