Sports, Physical Education, Fitness & Leisure Skills Council (SPEFL-SC)

The Sports, Physical Education, Fitness & Leisure Skills Council (SPEFL-SC) is a sector skill council under the NSDC focused on creating a skilled workforce to support India’s growing sports, wellness, and fitness industries. As demand for healthier lifestyles and professional sports support increases, SPEFL-SC plays a crucial role in building certified trainers, coaches, and physical education professionals.

The council partners with fitness centers, sports academies, educational institutions, and industry stakeholders to develop National Occupational Standards (NOS) across a variety of roles—such as fitness trainers, personal trainers, sports coaches, and strength & conditioning experts. These programs emphasize both technical skills and holistic development, including safety, motivation, and goal-oriented planning.

By professionalizing careers in fitness and sport, SPEFL-SC not only boosts employment opportunities but also supports the broader mission of building a fitter, more active nation.
