Personal Training Course - Certificate IV

Want to be a Personal Trainer?

Certificate IV in Fitness is the industry standard to become a Personal Trainer in all states of Australia. This means that if you want to work as a Personal Trainer or conduct group activity classes in an independent fashion or in varied locations (like out in the park, on the beach etc), Certificate IV is the requirement.

At the completion of this course, a graduate can work independently in their chosen field, and also be able to competently prescribe exercise.

Once you have completed your Certificate III, the Certificate IV course will teach you how to:

• conduct and evaluate long term periodised fitness plans
• develop your sales and marketing skills
• evaluate and analyse the performance of individual clients or groups in a variety of fitness settings
• Work as a personal trainer in a fitness centre
• apply teaching methods and instructional styles both indoors and outdoors
• be competent in strength and conditioning programs
• Start your own personal training business
• Work as a strength and conditioning coach for a sporting team.

What work can I get? With a Certificate IV in Fitness you can work as a personal trainer or group fitness trainer in or out of a gym. You can perform group training sessions or personal training sessions in public places (such as parks, sport-fields etc.) using your own insurance. You can work as a group trainer or personal trainer on cruise liners and work in the same capacity in many countries.   

Recognition of Previous Learning (RPL) / Recognition of Current Competencies (RCC): You can apply for exemptions from units in our courses where you can demonstrate that you have the skills or knowledge already. These skills or knowledge may have been obtained from prior study (especially in similar courses) or even from life experience. This type of recognition is also known as Recognition of Current Competencies (RCC). The Recognition of Prior Learning process is a way of recognising these skills and previous education. Obviously the prior learning must be relevant to this field of study.
