Who It’s For

Why Do This Course

Start Out In Fitness

You begin with the fundamentals: how the body moves, how to screen a client, how to build a program. Sixteen topics, all online, so you can learn while life carries on.

Upskill On The Gym Floor

Already working with people who train? Go deeper on strength and conditioning programming, heart rate variability, and sports injuries. Your own pace, your own hours, nothing to attend.

Run It Your Way

Want your own clients and your own hours? Selling your services is a topic here, along with the small business planning side and fitness industry contracts and agreements.

Where The Skills Fit

Where These Skills Could Take You

Skills like these get used anywhere people train: gyms, studios, boot camps in the park, and one-on-one sessions. The work is easy to picture. Writing a program, checking someone's form, and keeping them going when they want to stop.

Personal Trainer

Assessments, programs and coaching one person at a time. That is the core of what this course builds.

Gym Instructor

Floor work, equipment use and care, and showing members how to train safely.

Boot Camp Instructor

Group sessions outdoors or in a studio. Circuit training and instructing exercise programs are both topics here.

Fitness Centre Advisor

Talking with members about their goals, screening them, and pointing them to the right program or person.

Roles where these skills are useful, not promised outcomes. Every role is different, and some need more study or experience on top.

Good to Know

Common Questions

Do I need any experience?

The course starts with the fundamentals of fitness, so the basics are covered before anything else. Lessons are step-by-step video modules, and a mentor and tutors are there when you get stuck.

What does it cost each week?

The weekly plan is $15 per week, interest-free with no credit check. Enquire for the full payment options, including pay in four with Afterpay and upfront.

How long does the course take?

Around 100 study hours, at your own pace. Access is lifetime and works worldwide, so there is no deadline and you can come back later.

How are assessments done?

Short answer and multiple choice, built to help you understand rather than test you against the clock. Retake them as many times as you need, and marking comes back within one business day.

Can I take my own clients after this?

You come out with the training knowledge behind it: screening, assessments, programming, and how to sell your services. This is a CPD-endorsed micro-credential, not a nationally recognised qualification, so check what the gym, studio or insurer you have in mind asks for. Either way, the skills and the 16 CPD points stay with you.

Is this course accredited?

It is CPD endorsed, which is accreditation for professional development: you finish with 16 CPD points employers recognise, plus a Credly digital badge. It is not a nationally recognised qualification. That is a different thing, and this is a fast, low-cost way to build the skills and see how far you want to take it.

Can I get my money back if it is not for me?

Yes. There is a 7-day cooling-off period. You can switch to another course or get your money back.
