Certificate IV in Fitness is the minimum requirement to become a Personal Trainer in Queensland, and 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, you must at least have this qualification. The depth of knowledge required for Certificate IV obviously then reflects the added responsibility of obtaining and using this certificate. At the completion of this course, a successful candidate will not only be able to work independently in their chosen field, but also be able to competently prescribe exercise.
Due to the vast experience of Steve Nance and our team, we can offer an unparalleled course program that goes far beyond the knowledge necessary for the current minimal requirements. You will be learning from Australia's leading fitness and performance consultants.



Recognition of Previous Learning (RPL)
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.
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.

Advice/ insights for new PTs/ new graduates?
I have 3 tips for PT graduates:
1) Train hard and train regularly: I think it is very important to practice what you preach. I.e. You need to train regularly yourself (and experiment regularly yourself ) to understand what you are making your clients do. This is one of the best learning methods.
2) Communication: Be a good communicator in particular a good listener. Being able to communicate with your clients/allied health practitioners is an essential skill in PT and life.
3) No ego: Leave your ego at the door. PT / Strength and Conditioning is about helping your clients, not about a trainers ego. Ego only gets in the road of effective training.
