Is this course for me?
Our Personal Weight Management Skill Set is for everyone who are interested in maintaining a healthy weight range and prevent obesity related diseases through management of lifestyle choices. This course is for everyone who wants to take their life under control and make positive and long lasting change.
The first thing to know about our Personal Weight Management Skill Set is that it’s different to traditional weight loss or gym-style programs. It’s about equipping you with knowledge, skills, and attitudes that you need to stay healthy for as long as possible.
We recognize that everyone is different and that joining a gym, going on a popular diet or having special “diet” food delivered does not work for everyone. We understand that maintaining a healthy lifestyle can be a challenge for aviation professionals. This is why we focus on teaching you the skills to help get you going, rather than just preaching to you about what you should be doing.

Why; because it is critical that you are healthy and fit for duty.

More than this, we want to give you a job aid (health log book) to ensure you stay on course and reinforce patterns that will stay with you for life.
