Study Personal Training

The AIPT Complete Personal Trainer^  Program is a nationally recognised personal trainer course.

Study Nutrition

The 10967NAT Diploma of Nutrition is an online course, combined with a required 30 sessions of practical work placement, offered in Australia that will equip you with the knowledge, abilities and skills for a range of professional environments. No matter what area of the health and fitness industry interests you, this online nutrition diploma will give you the ability to perform a wide variety of essential tasks. Whether it’s advising on food and healthy eating recommendations, providing meaningful sports nutrition advice or understanding and creating meal plans, a diploma of human nutrition will prepare you well. 

The course structure

Starting off with the entry requirements, you will learn how to conduct client assessments and effectively plan and deliver tailored exercise programs for a range of different client needs. 

Next, you will launch into the SIS40215 Certificate IV in Fitness, where you will develop a thorough understanding of the aspects of personal training. You will be taught how to undertake long-term exercise programs, and how to use motivational psychology to set you up for success. 

The 10967NAT Diploma of Nutrition is the next part of your study, where you will enhance your knowledge of nutrition and gain a valuable skillset that translates to a career in the fitness industry.

Benefit from a combined qualification in Fitness, Health and Nutrition 

With the training you’ll receive from both the Complete Personal Trainer^  Program and the 10967NAT Diploma of Nutrition, you'll have the qualifications you need to apply for health and fitness jobs in Australia, as well as overseas. 

Personal Trainer

• Personal Training Franchises — Get a head-start in launching your PT business with an already established fitness franchise, delivering specialised training to your members. 
• Your Own Personal Training Business — Be your own boss and choose when and where you work with your own client network. 
• Community Fitness Settings — Support the health and fitness of your own community by providing fitness advice for organised group initiatives.  
• Health Clubs — Work for a local gym or fitness centre training your own clients as a qualified Personal Trainer. Completing the SIS402015 Certificate IV in Fitness (Complete PT) does not allow you to conduct any group exercise classes that are formalised in a group setting for example choreographed to music. 

Nutrition Advisor

There is typically some confusion in the difference between a nutrition advisor and a dietician. While both aim to assist individuals in achieving optimal health through diet, a dietician has additional qualifications that allow them to provide medical nutritional therapy. A nutrition advisor is responsible for working with their clients to create meaningful change in their lifestyle with nutritional advice and support. This includes working one-on-one with clients to provide services such as diet and exercise plans, progress tracking and implementing a course of action or referring them to medical health professionals when necessary.

Nutrition Coach

Follow your passion for health and fitness with a career as a nutrition coach. A nutrition coach’s role focuses on helping their clients build practices and make changes to their diet to optimise their health. There are many reasons why an individual would seek help from a nutrition coach; they might have a fitness or performance goal they’re working towards, or simply a desire to improve their quality of life and prevent diet-related disease. As a nutrition coach, you’ll have a solid understanding of nutrition science and how to tailor a program to meet an individual’s specific needs, as well as being able to successfully motivate them to stay on track.
