Course Features:
The Learner Management System will be your portal to all coursework, assessments, quizzes and student support. We’ll provide you with a schedule to help you plan your study time but there are no set dates in which modules need to be completed – this is completely self-managed.
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 (SIS30315).
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!

Entry Requirements:
Several units from the Certificate III in Fitness (SIS30315) 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 (SIS40215), is that you must also hold your First Aid qualification. If you don’t already have this, we offer the HLTAID003 Apply First Aid Certificate. 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.
