What Do Our Past Students Have to Say?

Testimonial Certificate III and IV

I completed cert 3 in Fitness with Women's Fitness Education. I wasn't sure whether I was making the right choice, but after talking to Dani from WFE, I decided to go ahead. The best decision I ever made! 100% flexible study option means I could juggle my study in between full time work and family life. I completed the course in 3 months and now continuing with Cert 4. I found the facilitators/educators very supportive and responsive to queries. 100% recommend it!


KELLY

Testimonial Certificate III and IV


WFE has been a fantastic supportive group. I have just completed my cert 3 in Fitness with them and now moving onto my cert 4. The online system and education team they use is easy to navigate and provides fantastic support through each subject and module. My most favourite part of WFE so far is the monthly webinars they hold. Each month is a really unique and yet important topic that has been a source of great education and awareness for me. I appreciate that if I can't get on to it live I have the ability to watch the recording at any time. I highly recommend if you are looking to train women at all throughout your fitness professional career that you chose Women's Fitness Education.
