Tees Active Announce Partnership with HFE

Tees Active are proud to announce its partnership with leading UK fitness industry training provider, HFE, supporting the Trust with its ongoing education and training requirements.

As part of the Trust’s commitment to build active and healthy communities, HFE will support the Trust to upskill several leisure apprentices to become fully qualified fitness instructors of gym-based exercise.

They have a portfolio of over 30 Ofqual qualifications and each year they support around 3,500 students to become qualified exercise professionals. HFE’s courses lead to Ofqual-regulated qualifications and are aligned with the Chartered Institute for the Management of Sport and Physical Activity (CIMSPA) Professional Standards.
