Program overview
The College Diploma - Fitness and Health Promotion (FHP1) is a 2 year program at Fanshawe College’s London campus.
The fitness diploma pairs exercise science with delivery craft: training program design, group instruction, health coaching and extensive practical hours, graduating industry-certification-ready. Placements across gyms, clinics and workplace-wellness programs turn classroom physiology into client-facing competence.
Southwestern Ontario’s hub city hosts the program: a health-care, insurance and EV-manufacturing economy whose provincial immigration streams favour graduates working outside the saturated GTA.
Work-permit note: field CIP 31.0507 (Fitness and health promotion). Both Fanshawe’s PGWP-aligned list and IRCC’s CIP list update; check both immediately before applying, as IRCC holds the final decision.
