APC courses give you complete control when managing your payments. We require a minimum of 20% of the course cost paid initially as a deposit, but as long as the remainder is paid before the start if the course you can choose to pay at the best time for you.

Learners can request a replacement from us, but if for whatever reason we are unable to do this a replacement certificate can be sourced directly from Active IQ. Each replacement certificate costs £15 plus VAT, or £25 plus VAT if you would also like an electronic version. Replacement certificates are issued within five working days.

Successful certificate claims are processed by Active IQ within five working days once we have completed the course assessments as well as any quality assurance, if required. If this is the case and you still have not received your certificate please give us a call on 01202 965012 or email [email protected] and one of the team will get back to you asap!

SportBU has been granted approval by Active IQ to deliver Active IQ qualifications. We are monitored and supported by Active IQ to ensure that appropriate standards are consistently maintained.

Active IQ qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF) and are jointly regulated by England’s regulator Ofqual (incl. Northern Ireland) and Qualifications Wales.

Therefore, Active IQ qualifications are recognised in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Scotland has its own framework: the Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework (SCQF). Although they do not additionally appear on the SCQF, Active IQ qualifications are widely respected by learners, training organisations and employers in Scotland, and several approved centres in Scotland choose to offer our qualifications.

In Europe, the European Qualifications Framework (EQF) acts as a translation device to make national qualifications more readable across Europe. All regulated qualifications sitting on the RQF (including all Active IQ qualifications) align to the level descriptors of the EQF.

UK qualifications are well-regarded all over the world, and where there is a national register of exercise professionals with an agreement in place for mutual recognition, Active IQ certificates should be recognised for those seeking employment abroad. However, this decision lies uniquely with the relevant country and their local jurisdictions. See EuropeActive and ICREPs for further guidance and information.

All current staff or students at Bournemouth University (BU) are eligible for a reduced courses cost. This is the same for any ‘Alumni’ individuals, this will be the case if you have EVER graduated from BU.

All level 3 qualifications are entitled to be nominated into the new UCAS Tariff by relevant higher education institutes. Active IQ’s Level 3 Diploma in Physical Activity, Massage, Fitness and Exercise Science has the following points attached to it and is also a Tech Level as designated by the Department for Education:

Distinction: 48 points
Merit: 32 points
Pass: 16 points

However, the university or college you are considering applying to may accept other Active IQ qualifications as an appropriate entry route even if they don’t currently attract UCAS Tariff points. See the UCAS website for more information.

Active IQ qualifications are recognised by CIMSPA and sit within their Professional Development Framework.

As long as they meet Active IQ’s requirements, we can choose how Active IQ qualifications are delivered. We genreally deliver a blended learning (a combination of face-to-face and distance learning) approach but we are adjustable to your requirements.
