Overview
Kick start your fitness journey with our invigorating SIS30321 - Certificate III in Fitness. Transform your passion for health and wellness into a dynamic career. Learn the foundations of exercise science, personal training, and group fitness instruction. Inspire others, promote active lifestyles, and make a positive impact in the lives of your clients.
This qualification reflects the role of group and gym fitness instructors. These fitness instructors may plan and deliver group exercise sessions and develop gym-based programs for individuals where the level of personalised instruction and ongoing client monitoring is limited. They work in predictable environments under general supervision. When instructing groups or interacting with clients, they use discretion and judgment to solve routine issues within the parameters of clearly defined organisational policies and procedures.
This qualification provides a pathway to work as a fitness instructor in settings such as fitness facilities, gyms, and leisure and community centres.
The skills in this qualification must be applied in accordance with Commonwealth and State or Territory legislation, Australian standards and industry codes of practice.
No occupational licensing, certification or specific legislative requirements apply to this qualification at the time of publication.
This is a nationally recognised accredited course.
