Fitness job 'ban' for non-EU migrants
UK companies will find it increasingly hard to recruit non-EU immigrants as fitness instructors and exercise staff.
A review of the country's skill shortages by the Migration Advisory Committee (MAC) has recommended changes in the current points system, with a number of fitness-related jobs being affected.
MAC has deducted that many jobs within the health and fitness sector are "non-skilled" and therefore do not qualify for Tier 2 status - requiring the applicant to have a level 4 qualification or above on the National Qualifications Framework (NQF). For the full report, click here.
