Course overview

Turn your love of fitness into a career and get on the fast track to becoming a qualified Personal Trainer. After completing the nine Fitness Fundamental units, you’ll then launch straight into the SIS40221 Certificate IV in Fitness and complete all the required training to attain your Personal Training certification.

Enjoy the flexibility of being your own boss and feel the satisfaction of knowing you are making a difference in people’s lives.

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. Start your new career in fitness from the comfort of your own home.
