Learners watch video tutorials showing how to do each exercise seated and standing, how to progress and regress the exercises and relate them to activities of daily living.<\/p>\n<p>Practical delivery is then assessed during the 2 practical days (which is delivered either face-to-face or on Zoom). Learners are expected to know all 70 of the exercises in the FABS programme and are asked to deliver a taster session including 10 exercises that have been allocated in advance. They are then assessed on their delivery to show they are technically proficient, safe and competent.<\/p>\n<p>Please note, that you will be asked to agree to the FABS <a href=\"https:\/\/www.moveitorloseit.co.uk\/terms-conditions\/\">Terms &amp; Conditions<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.moveitorloseit.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/FABS-online-info-2020-website.pdf\">Zoom<\/a>\u00a0requirements before purchasing.<\/p>\n<h4>Learner materials<\/h4>\n<p>Learners can download and print a pdf version of the Practical Training &amp; Theory Training manual during the course. \u00a0However, if you don\u2019t have access to a printer, or would like a professionally printed copy, they&#8217;re available to purchase for an additional \u00a324.99 each.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Attending your practical training days<\/strong><\/h4>\n<h5>Online practical training days:<\/h5>\n<p><strong>Please read the requirements for completing your practical days online <a href=\"https:\/\/heyzine.com\/flip-book\/c5e31c9c45.html\">here.<\/a> By booking online practical training dates, you&#8217;re accepting you will meet the requirements outlined.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<h4>Venues for face-to-face practical days:<\/h4>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/place\/National+Badminton+Centre\/@52.0378731,-0.7848841,17z\/data=!3m1!4b1!4m9!3m8!1s0x48770012efee48a3:0x266dea845e8add02!5m2!4m1!1i2!8m2!3d52.0378731!4d-0.7848841!16s%2Fg%2F12cnx7z6z?entry=ttu&amp;g_ep=EgoyMDI1MDcyMC4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D\">Milton Keynes &#8211; National Badminton Centre<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/deanessportscentre.com\/contact-us\/\">Essex<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.village-hotels.co.uk\/leeds-south#glance\">Leeds<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/hibirmingham.co.uk\/contact-us\/\">Birmingham &#8211; Holiday Inn<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Course Dates:<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Online \u2013 24th &amp; 25th January 2026 (SOLD OUT)<\/p>\n<p>Birmingham \u2013 21st &amp; 22nd February 2026 (SOLD OUT)<\/p>\n<p>Leeds \u2013 21st &amp; 22nd March 2026<\/p>\n<p>Online \u2013 13th &amp; 14th March 2026<\/p>\n<p>Milton Keynes \u2013 18th &amp; 19th April 2026<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"null\">We&#8217;ve now partnered with Klarna enabling you to book your FABS Training course and pay over 3 interest-free instalments!<\/h4>\n<p>See our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.moveitorloseit.co.uk\/become-an-instructor\/faqs-about-fabs-training\/\">FABS FAQs<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en-GB\">Please note, you will be asked to agree to our FABS \u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.moveitorloseit.co.uk\/terms-conditions\/\"><span lang=\"en-GB\"><u>Terms &amp; Conditions<\/u><\/span><\/a> before purchasing.
