Gareth Luke, Operations Manager at CMS Vocational Training, said: "Our new programme is all about offering opportunities to young people by helping them achieve qualifications and gain full-time employment. Working with Active IQ gives our learners an extra advantage due to the quality of the qualifications they’ll be studying for, and the bespoke delivery methods that allow us to be flexible in the qualification delivery."

Suzy Gunn, Executive Director of Active IQ, said: ‘We are thrilled to be working with CMS Vocational Training, which shares our ethos of supporting young people and adults to further their careers through good quality education. CMS has an excellent reputation in the North of England and we have no doubt that our qualifications will help some of the young apprentices in their quest for a career in the health and fitness industry."
