Our nationally recognised Certificate III & IV in Fitness will equip you with all the knowledge and practical skills you need to work as a Personal Trainer in Australia.

Students studying outside of Victoria can complete the qualifications 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.

Eligibility
- First Aid is a unit within the Certificate III in Fitness (SIS30321) — this online course does not include first aid.
- Students studying online in Victoria can arrange to complete the first aid unit at AFA (at an additional cost of $100). 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. The required unit is HLTAID011 Provide first aid.
- Several units from Certificate III in Fitness (SIS30321) are pre-requisites for Certificate IV in Fitness (SIS40215).
RPL is available if you have studied a very similar course or degree, or have already undertaken many of the topics with another provider.
Work Placement
Practical Placement is an integral component of our qualifications. It is completed in an approved fitness centre/PT studio and is supervised by a qualified personal trainer in the capacity of your mentor.
Students must complete:
-
32 hours placement for the Certificate III in Fitness
-
30 hours placement for the Certificate IV in Fitness
AFA is also partnered with 2XU, the industry leader in sports performance clothing, and once your placement gets underway, we will provide you with a custom uniform so you can look the part while completing your Practical Placement.
