Lungs in Action theory online training
Please note this training course is currently being updated and a new enhanced version will be available in March 2022.
This online training products the opportunity to upskill for exercise professionals who play a role in exercising people with chronic stable lung diseases and/or heart failure. It is also suitable for those who are a part of a broader multidisciplinary team that offer these services.
Completion of this course alone does not provide accreditation to run Lungs in Action classes. However, it is a great option for those who would like to expand their knowledge and keep up-to-date with the best-practice training in exercise safety and limitations for people with a chronic lung disease.
As this training course does not provide full accreditation to run Lungs in Action classes you may not be covered by insurance to work with people with a chronic lung disease, unless previous education has provided you with this scope of practice (ie. Accredited exercise physiologist or physiotherapist). To be fully covered, you may need to complete the Lungs in Action Full Instructor Training which includes practical placements to demonstrate a new skill set.
Cost: Single training $242 including GST
