Established in 1993, the Australian Fitness Academy specialises in the delivery of nationally accredited fitness and personal training qualifications.
AFA has assisted thousands of graduates to create rewarding careers as exercise professionals. We have delivered the SIS30321 Certificate III in Fitness and SIS40221 Certificate IV in Fitness for more than 33 years, with flexible study options allowing students to choose whether to complete their course either face-to-face or online.
As the leading online fitness education provider in the country, we have developed a course that is interactive, engaging and insightful, equipping you with the knowledge and skills required to become a fully-qualified Gym Instructor, Group Exercise Instructor and Personal Trainer.
We also work with a large range of organisations across the fitness industry to support our students throughout their entire learning journey with us, from enrolment right through to graduation.
