Personal training can be a fun, satisfying, and rewarding career that can allow you to do what you love, and even be your own boss! To get started, there are plenty of flexible and affordable training options available.

What will I learn?

While some units throughout the courses overlap, each course will teach you different things. The Certificate III is focused on teaching the skills, knowledge, and experience needed to provide exercise, fitness, and nutrition instruction and advice to groups. The Certificate IV will provide the knowledge, skills, and experience needed to be a personal trainer for both individuals and groups, including children and adolescents.

But if you want to get the most out of your course, the Fast Track Certificate IV in Fitness will give you all the skills, knowledge, and experience needed to:

• Instruct exercise to young people, adults, and elderly people
• Establish and maintain professional practice for fitness instruction
• Assess client movement and provide advice on fitness and exercise

• Research and develop business plans
• Develop and instruct strength conditioning programs

And more!
