FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
There are some State Government initiatives available for eligible applicants to access funding to assist them to complete qualifications. As these initiatives often change, it is recommended you contact our Careers Advisors on 1300 232 348 to obtain further information.
Our interest-free payment plans allow you to study from as little as $50 a week or $100 a fortnight. We only require a $100 deposit to get started, so there’s no large upfront costs or big student loan debts to worry about.
Course fees vary depending on mode of study and whether you are eligible for Government Funding.
If you have studied a course in a similar field or have completed units with another provider, you may be eligible for Recognised Prior Learning (RPL).
Undertaking the RPL process allows applicants to use their past qualifications and work-related experience to match the current unit of competencies that make up the Certificate III and IV in Fitness.
Once our Student Support team have reviewed the RPL application, prospective students are informed of the units that have been credited and the remaining components of the course they will need to complete to gain their qualifications.
Ask our Careers Advisors on 1300 232 348 for more information.
First Aid is a required unit within the Certificate III in Fitness.
If you choose to study our face to face course, First Aid is included as a timetabled class.
Our online course does not include First Aid. Students studying the Certificate III online in Victoria can arrange to complete the First Aid unit at AFA HQ, for an additional cost of $100.
Alternatively, students can complete the First Aid unit with another provider and supply a copy of the qualification to AFA to be credited for the First Aid component of their course.
The required unit is HLTAID011 Provide First Aid.
