Do you offer the "Master Personal Trainer" or the "Elite Personal Trainer"?
According to the Australian National Training Package, there is no such qualification as a "Master Personal Trainer" nor an "Elite Personal Trainer"; at this time the only qualification you need to be work as a personal trainer in Australia is to complete a minimum of the Certificate IV in Fitness (Personal Trainer) and be registered with Fitness Australia or Kinect Australia. Some Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) will brand their courses a particular way but the AQF recognised qualification is standard throughout Australia.

Do you offer the Certificate III and Certificate IV in Fitness as a combined course?
It depends on your previous experience. Normally we do not offer it as a complete package for we want you to contribute with case studies from your gym/fitness centre work experience and training so that you have the experience to build upon when you take the Personal Training course. Our industry partners have found that to be a more thorough delivery and that the students graduate with a better understanding of what is needed as a personal trainer.
