Eligibility
- Several units from the Certificate III in Fitness (SIS30321) are pre-requisites for the Certificate IV in Fitness.
- If you don’t already have the Certificate III, we provide a combined personal trainer course to enable you to obtain both qualifications and become a Fitness Instructor and Personal Trainer. Enquire for more information.
- The other prerequisite for the Certificate IV in Fitness (SIS40221) is that you must also hold your First Aid qualification. If you don’t already have this, we offer the HLTAID011 Provide First Aid qualification.
- Alternatively, students can complete the first aid unit with another provider and supply a copy of the qualification to AFA to obtain a ‘credit’ for the unit.
RPL is available if you have studied a very similar course or degree, or have already undertaken many of the topics with another provider.
