Here’s Everything You Need to Know!

So, you’re thinking about studying Certificate III and IV in Fitness, but you’ve got a few questions before you dive in. Totally understandable! Starting a new career—especially in the fitness industry—can feel exciting, but also a little overwhelming.

That’s why we’ve put together this FAQ blog—to answer all those burning questions you might have. Whether you’re wondering about study options, how long it takes to complete, or how you go about your practical assessments.

Grab a coffee, get comfy, and let’s break it all down so you can feel confident taking the next step toward your dream career!

👉🏼 Why does WFE include women's health courses in the bundle?

There is no women's health included in Cert 3 and 4 across the board. We feel it is missing education for trainers, so we include our four bonus women's health courses to educate our students on how to help women at all stages of their lives.

👉🏼Is it all online?

Yes, it is 100% online and self-paced, which means you can start any time and get through it as fast as you like.

👉🏼How long do you get to complete your certificates?

We give you 12 months to complete Certificate 3 and 12 Months to complete Certificate 4, and there is no time limit on our women's health courses.

👉🏼How long does it usually take students to complete each cert?

We find most students will finish each Cert in an average of 6 months, but we recently had a student finish Cert 3 in 2 months! It is doable, but it all depends on how much time you have to spend on your study each week.

👉🏼What is the support like?

You'll have a dedicated assessor to answer any questions you have and our policy is that they will get back to you within 24 hours and they'll mark your assessments within 3 business days!

We also have a student only Facebook group that I look after, to keep all our ladies connected and engaged. I believe it's very important to have a supportive community when studying online, to keep everyone motivated to complete their studies.

👉🏼Do you need to do any work placement hours?

No! When studying with us, you won't need to do any gym work placement hours! We know life is busy enough as it is, and trying to fit that in is just too stressful!

👉🏼Do you need a mentor?

No mentor required! We know many people struggle to find someone, so we do not require this!

👉🏼How do practical assessments work?

There are a couple of options!

First option, you'll need practice clients, they can be family or friends and you'll take videos of yourself performing what is asked and you'll upload it to our platform to submit. You can do those videos at home if you have some basic equipment, or you can do them in the gym.

Second option, this one depends on where you live! Every 3 months in all the major cities, we run practical intensive weekends. If you attend one of those weekends, you'll have all your practical assessments from ONE certificate signed off on that weekend.

This is an optional extra for students, which does have a fee, but you register and pay for that closer to your attendance.
