Testimonials

Australian Fitness Academy was great and very supportive. I completed my Certificate III & IV in fitness through them with their fast-paced option and I must say I loved every single bit of it. Glad I completed my certificates with the legends at AFA and finally got my qualifications, I would most definitely 100% recommend these legends to anyone who is looking to complete their certificates to become a personal trainer or even professional development whilst you are a trainer.

I CAN NOT RECOMMEND AFA ENOUGH! I just completed my Cert 3&4 learning and it’s the best decision I ever made, the team there are exceptional with copious amounts of knowledge and I have no doubt I will succeed with the knowledge I have attained from studying at AFA. I wouldn’t go anywhere else if I had to do it again!

Tyson Smith

Certificate III in Fitness
Although I found it challenging sometimes to study online, it was a necessity as I lived in a remote area. I always found the support team very quick to respond to my queries and very human understanding about any struggles I had. Via email or on the phone I felt very supported and understood. I also found the delivery of the course information great. Both video presentations and workbooks. Then the additional podcast and webinars gave us so many ways to consume the information. I would recommend AFA to anyone who wants to study online.

Certificate III in Fitness
I’ve just completed my Certificate 3 and 4 with Australian Fitness Academy, I highly recommend the face-to-face option for this course. The facility and all teachers were fantastic and helped me learn in a very practical way which suited me best. It’s a great experience being with like-minded people in the course that you can bounce ideas off and learn things from a different perspective. Thank you to the team at AFA for giving me the skills for my new career path, I appreciate the work you all put in.
