"As the owner of a personal training studio, I know how difficult it can be to find quality staff. I look for two things when employing new trainers, first is skills and knowledge and second is attitude. first of all the Trainer must hold the relevant qualifications. I know that AFA graduates posess the skills and knowledge that makes them fit for the job. Because of their high standards I can confidently interview an AFA graduate and focus on the second part of the interview: finding the right personality." Jai, Director - Unlimited Personal Training, CANTERBURY .
"Over the past years we have employed many graduates of the AFA and have been impressed with their knowledge and enthusiasm." Jodie, Director - Healthy Balance Fitness |
