Four pathways, clearly scoped

SIS30321 Certificate III in Fitness

Learn screening, fitness assessments and safe gym and group exercise instruction for instructor roles. This qualification is not a Personal Trainer qualification by itself.

Typical completion: most students complete within 24 weeks.
Maximum study period: up to 12 months.

SIS40221 Certificate IV in Fitness

Develop skills in individual program design and personal training. Relevant prerequisite units and current First Aid must be checked with AOF before enrolment. Experience alone is not an automatic exemption.

Typical completion: most students complete within 16 weeks.
Maximum study period: up to 6 months.

Certificate III + IV Combo

Includes the full SIS30321 Certificate III and SIS40221 Certificate IV: a pathway from gym and group instruction to personal training.

Maximum study period: up to 18 months to complete both qualifications.

Accelerate

Includes Certificate III prerequisite units plus SIS40221 Certificate IV. It does not award a full Certificate III. Ask AOF to check your prior study and pathway suitability before enrolling.

Maximum study period: up to 12 months.

AOF advises that normal completion times are 16–20 weeks, based on your pathway and study pace; the course-specific typical times and maximum study periods are shown above. These are not guaranteed completion dates. AOF can help you plan your study and confirm the expected weekly study hours and practical schedule.

Questions worth settling first

Entry, prerequisites and practical checks

AOF’s official course information lists a minimum age of 16, eligible Australian study rights, language, literacy and numeracy (LLN) screening, a computer and reliable internet. These courses are not CRICOS registered and are not for subclass 500 student visa holders.

We’ll discuss your course-specific prerequisites, prior study and First Aid during pre-entry, and help you understand the practical arrangements that suit your circumstances. Any individual checks needed for practical activities are discussed during pre-entry and within the course.

Study, assessment and support

Study flexibly with self-paced online resources, written and practical assessments, and feedback from your assessor. You’re not studying on your own: AOF offers support to help you build your knowledge and practical skills throughout your course.

  • Online support to help with your learning and assessments.
  • Mentor support as you progress through your course.
  • Face-to-face workshops and assessments to develop and demonstrate practical skills.
  • Industry mentorship programs where you work alongside an industry mentor while completing your course.
  • Live phone calls for direct study support.

We’ll discuss practical assessment arrangements with you, including suitable facilities, equipment and participants, so you can plan how to complete your practical work.

First Aid HLTAID011 and CPR HLTAID009 are completed through an independent provider. Ask AOF about arranging these and any additional provider costs when planning your enrolment.

Payment plans, cancellation and refunds

Review the payment schedule in Payment-plan detail. A deposit is additional to weekly payments; the upfront option is separate.

Before paying, ask AOF for its current written refund and cancellation policy, any applicable cooling-off arrangements and the terms that apply to your enrolment.

Recognition, guide and career outcomes

SIS30321 Certificate III in Fitness and SIS40221 Certificate IV in Fitness are nationally recognised qualifications. Check AOF’s RTO record on the National Register (RTO 30683).
