Networking – It’s making connections, forming relationships, acquiring knowledge and showing your skills. But what is the best way to do this in the age of online networking? These days it is rare for people to solely rely on face to face contact, typed letters or telephone calls. E-networking is the way of the future but with it comes new dangers that we all must be aware of and considerations that must be taken into account. In this program we explore what e-networking is and the precautions we all should take to ensure our online identity accurately reflects who we are, assisting us in the job seeking process. One thing is certain – e-networking is here to stay.

Fitness, Skill and Training
When beginning any health and fitness program we need to test our health-related and skill-related components of fitness in order to expose our strengths and weakness and to determine what components we need to work on. This doesn’t just apply to a trained athlete, but is just as relevant to the untrained person of any age. In this program we learn practical tests that measure the health-related and skill-related components of fitness, how to apply the FITT principle to a training program, and what happens to the cardio-respiratory system when we exercise.
