Three moves that use what a exercise trainers and group fitness instructor already knows
Ranked by how much of the job's skills and knowledge carries over. Each one says what the move usually costs in study.
Physical Therapist Aides
🧰 Your current job already uses teaching other people, looking after customers and clients, bringing people around to an idea and reading people.
🎓 No more study. Your current level of study is usually enough. The most common level in the US is high school or less (45%).
🪪 Health employers usually ask for a National Police Check

Occupational Therapy Aides
🧰 Your current job already uses looking after customers and clients, teaching other people, bringing people around to an idea and finding the best way to learn or teach something.
🎓 A certificate or diploma. About the same level of study as your job, but in a different field: it leans on Therapy and Counseling, which your job does not use much. The most common level in the US is some college, a certificate or an associate degree (61%).
