Here Are the Answers You’ve Been Looking For 💗

If you're passionate about fitness, love helping others, or simply want a career that feels meaningful — you’ve probably thought about becoming a Personal Trainer or Group Fitness Instructor.

But with so many course providers and confusing information out there, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed.

At Women’s Fitness Education, we specialise in helping women start (or restart!) their fitness careers — with study options that are flexible, supportive, and designed for real women, real lifestyles, and real goals.

So to make things easier, we’ve put together answers to the Top 10 Most Common Questions we get from women thinking about studying with us.

Let’s dive in 👇


⭐ 1. Can I study the course completely online?

Yes! Both Certificate III and IV in Fitness are designed to be studied 100% online through our learning portal. You’ll access video lessons, online textbooks, templates, support, and self-paced assessments — allowing you to study anytime, from anywhere.


⭐ 2. How do I complete the practical requirements? Do I need to attend in-person?

You have two flexible options to complete your practical assessments:

Option 1 – Online / Remote
Film your practical role-play tasks in a fitness facility or home gym. You'll get examples, and step-by-step guidance.

Option 2 – Attend an Optional Practical Intensive Weekend
Join an in-person, hands-on workshop (extra cost) to complete your practical tasks alongside assessors and other students.

🔹 Both options meet national requirements — it’s entirely your choice which suits your learning style and lifestyle.


⭐ 3. What qualifications will I receive?

You'll graduate with nationally recognised fitness qualifications:

🎓 SIS30321 – Certificate III in Fitness
(Gym Instructor / Group Fitness Instructor)

🎓 SIS40221 – Certificate IV in Fitness
(Personal Trainer)

Plus access to four bonus Women's Health companion courses — unique to WFE.


⭐ 4. What are the entry requirements?

To enrol, you’ll need:

  • To be 16+

  • Australian citizen or PR

  • Access to a fitness facility and people to practise with

  • Basic computer & internet

  • To meet Language, Literacy & Numeracy (LLN) requirements

No previous fitness experience needed — just a passion for helping others 💪


⭐ 5. How long do I have to complete the course?

You’ll have 12 months per certification, and because it's self-paced, many students complete sooner — especially when studying Cert III and Cert IV back-to-back.


⭐ 6. What kind of support will I get while studying?

You'll have access to:

💬 Assessor support via phone, email and SMS
📹 Live monthly student webinars
📝 Feedback on assessments within 2 business days
👯‍♀️ Student-only online Facebook community
💗 Women-focused mentoring and guidance

You're never studying alone.

👩‍🎓 Courses designed for female bodies, life stages & needs
👯‍♀️ A student community of like-minded women

⭐ 8. How are payments structured?

You can choose:

💳 Pay upfront
📅 Weekly payment plans over 12 months


⭐ 9. What is the refund / cancellation policy?

We offer a 7-day cooling-off period.
If you change your mind within the first 7 days, you can cancel (minus a $250 admin fee). After that, refunds are not available due to instant digital content access.


⭐ 10. Will these qualifications let me work as a PT in Australia?

Yes!
Both qualifications are nationally recognised across Australia.

Cert III allows you to work as a Gym Instructor or Group Fitness Instructor, and Cert IV qualifies you to work as a Personal Trainer, either in gyms, studios, or your own business.
