"I’ve always been interested in fitness, I was active and running, so I wanted to pursue it. Life after graduating has been super exciting, I’m getting all the dream jobs I ever wanted.

WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY

"I’m 42-years-old, I’ve worked in several industries and the decision to study again really plays on your mind. Studying with AFA made it a lot easier, knowing I had all that support.

Clayton Hutchinson 
AFA Graduate 

"I was quite overweight when was I younger and I lost 30kg. This course was really good for me to build my confidence up and I got all the knowledge I needed in anatomy and nutrition.

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.

Please contact us on 1300 232 348 for more information.
