Sarah White

From my initial interactions with AIPT through to the day I completed my course, I could not fault one thing! The team are so friendly and helpful and made me feel really welcome and comfortable all the time.

Studying with AIPT allowed me to study while working and starting a university degree. They made this possible by allowing flexibility throughout my study while ensuring I received the highest possible education. The range of payment plans was also a significant factor for me.

I chose AIPT because it allowed me to complete my Certificate IV while simultaneously working full-time. I had access to the online platform and the ability to complete my practical hours outside of my working hours.

Future Career Pathways.

The opportunities for growth don’t stop at becoming a Personal Trainer or Group Exercise Leader!

Here are just a few of the exciting avenues you can take to further your career once you have some experience under your belt. 

There are so many corporate opportunities to explore as a Fitness Professional. That could mean becoming a Corporate Wellness Coordinator for employee wellness programs, a Product Manager for new fitness equipment, the Fitness Program Director for a company’s in-house employee facilities, and so much more. 

Become your own boss and take total control over your schedule. Being a business owner might look like working as a sole trader PT in a gym, opening your own facility or becoming a franchisee of a larger gym chain. 

Get involved by working with sports teams on their fitness programs, from local teams to professional organisations. You could also complete further studies to get qualified in Strength and Conditioning for athletes, or even become a Sports Coach with the right certifications. 

A Physical Education teacher is responsible for teaching school students of all ages about the different aspects of physical fitness, sports and health. They help students develop their physical skills, coordination and endurance, as well as educating them about healthy lifestyle choices. In order to follow this pathway, you’ll need to complete a degree in Education. 

A Diploma of Nutrition is a great pathway to becoming a fully-qualified Dietitian. After the Diploma, completing a degree in dietetics will equip you to work in a clinical environment and provide medical nutrition advice.
