Who It’s For

Why Do This Course

Train People, Not Just Yourself

Screening, appraisals and programming turn what you do in the gym into something you can run for someone else.

Food Is Half the Job

Clients ask about eating before they ask about sets. Meal plans, fuelling and weight goals get their own modules.

The Bit That Pays

Selling services, keeping clients, insurance and registration, and running the day to day of a small fitness business.

Where The Skills Fit

Where These Skills Could Take You

Fitness work splits between gym floors and your own client list. Most people start with a few one on ones and build from there.

Personal Trainer

One on one sessions, programmed and progressed.

Nutrition Coach

Meal plans and eating habits alongside the training.

Online Fitness Coach

Programs and check ins delivered by app and video.

Group Exercise Instructor

Circuits and classes for a room rather than a person.

Fitness Program Designer

Writing the plans other trainers deliver.

Health and Wellness Consultant

Workplace and community programs, less gym floor.

Meal Planning Consultant

Plans built around a client's goals and week.

Roles where these skills are useful, not promised outcomes. Every role is different, and some need more study or experience. Many gyms and insurers ask for a nationally recognised fitness credential, which the training here is not. Working for yourself carries its own cost and risk.

Good to Know

Common Questions

Do I need gym experience?

It helps, but the anatomy and screening modules assume you are starting fresh.

Can I work in a gym after this?

Some gyms take it as professional development. Many ask for a nationally recognised fitness credential as well, so check with the gym you have in mind.

How long do I have?

Access does not expire. The workload is around four hundred and seventy hours.

What does it cost?

From $29 a week on a payment plan. Weekly, fortnightly or monthly, or pay upfront. No deposit and no credit check.

Are there exams?

None. You work through a programming skills booklet instead.

Can I give diet advice after this?

You can coach everyday eating and write meal plans. Clinical dietary advice sits with an accredited dietitian, so refer anything medical on.

What recognition does it carry?

You finish with a CPD endorsed digital credential and a Certificate of Achievement. The college is not a registered training organisation, so the training is not nationally recognised. It works as professional development and as a way into coaching your own clients.

What if I change my mind?

There is a ten day money back guarantee from the college. Ask an advisor how it works before you enrol.
