Masters in sports and pedagogy so university level education, i assume you mean teaching in scools.

Hi Onkko,

thank you for the reply!
I have in mind something like having an aerobics class, outside the gym, for adults. I would have a couple of times per week, one hour, an aerobics class, and whoever wants, can sign up.

Do you know, would it be the same for this sort of trainer job?

IMO for that kind of stuff you dont need any certifications or like. What i said apply only for official teachers in schools.
There may be some liability issues you may need insurance for but i doubt that.

I was surfing on the net looking for available jobs in fitness, and saw that Elixia fitness is first training and then providing jobs for fitness and personal trainers. check out www.elixia.fi.
