How Can I Study?

FACE TO FACE

(Classroom*) (*includes full access to the online course)

Face to Face is the ideal way to learn for those who want to fast track their course and for those who enjoy the personal and immediate support of teachers and other students. Course numbers are controlled to ensure that you as a student have a high level of contact with your teachers, and that your individual learning needs are recognised.

During your courses you will enjoy the added benefits that come with working with a motivated   group of energetic like-minded people.  We have access to a great range of facilities at our PCYC locations, so you can embrace a balance of lessons with practical sessions that make you a “Personal Trainer Trained Properly.”

Full Time Option (Mon – Fri)

• The Certificate III in Fitness – 4 weeks (plus work placement)
• The Certificate IV in Fitness – 4 weeks (plus work placement)

Part Time Option (2 nights per week)

• The Certificate III in Fitness course – 13 weeks (plus work placement)
• The Certificate IV in Fitness Course – 13 weeks (plus work placement)

STUDY ONLINE

Not all students can sit in a classroom and fully grasp the information and concepts presented.  As the saying goes:  “The brain can only take in what the seat can endure.”

As an online student you can fully focus on the material in front of you and spend as long as you need to absorb the information. The materials are presented with lessons containing slide presentations, voice overs, side notes, quizzes, and online interactive assessments that are marked instantly!

Delivery of the modules in this fashion prevents you from being overwhelmed by information overload, and lets you progress at your own pace.  

STUDY ONLINE + HARD COPY MATERIALS

Do you like to scribble your own notes, and circle key points on paper to make your study more effective? Then having the hard copy of resources will definitely work for you.

All the benefits of online study are coupled with this additional layer of ‘concrete’ information you can take with you anywhere. You will receive a full set of resources – separate booklets for every unit, and a fabulous anatomy revision book. You will also receive a text book which you will find invaluable for years to come!

BLENDED LEARNING

(The Online Course + Classroom learning)

Combine the Online Fitness Course with a weekly classroom session and you have our brand new style of blended learning. You have online access to all resources, and will be able to work toward your qualifications at your own pace.  Not only are the resources online, all of your assessments are too with you receiving your results within a couple of minutes of completion.

Add our Saturday morning tutorials and you have a fantastic way to keep you motivated and on-track with your studies. In these sessions, you will have the ability to:

• Ask any questions you have regarding the information in the course
• Learn further information from your educator and your peers
• Participate in practical workshops
• Learn what is happening in the industry

CORRESPONDENCE

If you don’t have access to a computer we can still provide you with your course materials in the traditional ‘see and feel’ hard copy resources. You can begin whenever you like and enjoy the support from teachers and staff throughout your learning.

Your Questions Answered…

We get a lot of questions from our fabulous current and potential trainees! While this is by no means a comprehensive list, we have compiled the most asked ones for you!

If you are thinking of beginning your education - take some time to read up on the most common  queries we have experienced on training for the fitness industry! 

(1)    I have not studied for years – will I be able to cope?

Absolutely! Many students feel like this when they start, but the course is easy to understand and fun to work through.

You can study at home or on campus and relax knowing that you also have a passionate team of supporters ready to help with any hiccups along the way.

(2)    I want to do the course from home – but how much time do I need to invest?

Our courses are designed to fit in with busy lives! Whether you have a few nights or just a few hours a week, you can work through the course at a pace that fits with your lifestyle.

(3)    I want to try studying by myself, but can I move to classroom courses if I change my mind once I have already started?

Yes, of course! We offer our courses online, face to face (full timeor part time) and even blended!  Whatever way you learn best, we’ll have the solution for you.

(4)    What is blended learning?

Glad you asked! Our blended course is the best of both worlds. You study your theory online, but meet once a week for a tutorial and practical session on campus. This allows you to take minimum time out of your busy life, but still gain the practical skills needed with the support of a teacher. Touching base once a week helps you stay on track and experience the benefits of still working with a group of other passionate people.

(5)    Do I have to pay for my course up front?

No. We understand that not everybody can afford to pay in full. You can invest in your career by paying upfront with great savings, or take advantage of our interest free payment plan options.

(6)    Are the courses nationally recognised?

Yes, yes, yes. The courses you study with Online Fitness are delivered in partnership with The WISE Academy. This means all courses are nationally recognised. But wait…There’s more!  Australian qualifications are respected around the world, so even if you travel, your qualifications with us will open doors for you.

(7)    Will I feel confident enough to start working straight away?

Yes! We pride ourselves on producing ‘industry ready’ graduates. As a student you will learn to put your knowledge into practice when you undertake the work placement component of our course. This is an essential part of our program. Here you not only practice your skills and gain confidence, you also gain real life experience of how the industry works.

(8)    Are there many job opportunities?

There certainly are! With the stresses and challenges people are facing now, health and well being is being valued more than ever. This means ‘Personal Trainers Trained Properly’ are very much in demand!

A high percentage of our students are offered jobs while they complete their work experience, so you can feel very confident about the opportunities our courses will present.
