Course overview

Have you been working in the fitness industry as a gym instructor and now want to become a Personal Trainer? Taking the next step to gain the higher qualification will open up an array of career possibilities not currently available when holding only the Certificate III in Fitness (SIS30321).

Not everyone prefers to learn in the same way or has the same lifestyle and work commitments. Therefore, we suggest studying online at your own pace by using our interactive online learning platform or the AFA app.

Online learning includes access to all course materials, with student support services available if you have any queries or require assistance with your coursework. You can contact our student support team as often as you like and we’re very flexible in regards to adjusting your studies around your busy life. With our low up-front cost, there has never been a better time to start your new fitness career!
