Program overview
A two year college diploma in exercise and wellness, covering exercise physiology, fitness assessment, programme design, health promotion and supervised practical placement.
Conestoga records this under a health and fitness code, which places it inside the eligible sectors where most sport and recreation subjects sit outside them.
College Diploma in Fitness and Health Promotion is taught at Conestoga College Doon campus, a public Ontario college. The fitness and health promotion diploma sits below degree level, so a work permit depends on its field of study. Conestoga records the fitness and health promotion diploma under CIP 31.0501 and lists it among its PGWP-aligned programmes, which supports a permit of up to three years. IRCC alone decides, so verify 31.0501 against the current eligible list before paying for the fitness and health promotion diploma. Ontario also requires a provincial attestation letter before the fitness and health promotion diploma can support a study permit.
Admission to College Diploma in Fitness and Health Promotion requires Grade 12 or equivalent at 50 percent. The English requirement is IELTS 6.5 with no band below 6.0, and tuition for the fitness and health promotion diploma is recorded at CAD 14,588. Conestoga charges a CAD 100 application fee, and no scholarship is recorded against the fitness and health promotion diploma. The fitness and health promotion diploma lists three entry windows across the annual intake cycle. Apply Study Visa manages your the fitness and health promotion diploma application, the deposit, the offer, the attestation letter and the Canadian study permit as one process.
