Diploma of Fitness

Take Your Passion for Fitness to the Next Level

Health and fitness specialists use an individualised approach to assess, motivate, educate and train clients. To do this, you need a strong foundation in exercise science - which this course delivers through a combination of formal training and work experience.

Among other things, you'll learn how to:

• design safe and effective exercise courses for clients with special needs
• conduct a range of physiological assessment procedures for improved performance
• assess your clients' muscular strengths and weaknesses
• plan programs to improve sporting performance
• develop musculoskeletal rehabilitation programs

Upon completion, you are eligible to gain registration and insurance from Fitness Australia as a fitness specialist, personal trainer and fitness instructor, and you'll be able to work anywhere in Australia.

Through FIA's articulation arrangement with Australian Catholic University National, you may apply for entrance into the University's Bachelor of Exercise Science degree program, using your qualification to gain admission.
