Product Description

Become a personal trainer with this internationally-recognised and locally-accredited fitness course.

Gain the theoretical and practical knowledge necessary for a successful career as a personal trainer. Upon completion of this qualification, you will be fully-equipped to:

  • Design and implement a physical activity programme for healthy individuals.
  • Screen, assess and monitor health-related fitness programmes.
  • Promote and provide safe and effective physical activity participation to meet participants’ fitness requirements.
  • Have the knowledge for appropriate referral to other healthcare providers.

This course is ideally suited to individuals who would like to study via distance learning over a shorter period of time. This is a more compact course compared to the National Certificate in Fitness, and offers the same level of recognition in the fitness industry.

Students who select this option cannot progress onto a National Diploma in Fitness, but can study further with other course offerings available.

Learn today, earn tomorrow!

This course has the option of a Kickstarter Package, a cost-effective learning solution that gives you your choice of a free AFAA course to allow you to enter the sports and fitness industry immediately so you can earn while you study.

With this package option, you will be able to purchase any extras you would like (such as testing equipment and Master Trainer sessions) before, during or after your Personal Training qualification.

Course cost includes:

  • Online learning
  • Exam fee
  • Certificate
  • FREE AFAA course
