Health and Fitness Courses For School Leavers

The following information has been sent to me from the Australian Institute of Personal Trainers.


The Australian Institute of Personal Trainers has been in operation for 10 years, has 39 campuses and 350+ Personal Trainer mentors around Australia and is one of the leading fitness education businesses in Australia. Our graduation rate is 87%, which is 3 times the industry average. The reason for this is the strong emphasis we place on student support and the very practical nature of our course. Our employment rate post-graduation currently sits at 80% - also testimony to our strong focus on industry-readiness prior to graduation.

Our courses can also be a means to a different end. Many students who undertake our courses in order to provide them with a Personal Training qualification then fund their way through university, TAFE or other qualifications.

Our course is delivered in one of two ways:

Flexible Mentoring: This is a correspondence course where our students undertake their studies at their own pace and in their own time. This allows students to structure their studies around their existing and competing commitments. When the student reaches a certain point in the course, we then match the student with a Personal Trainer in their area (no matter where they are around Australia) and the student undertakes 40 hours of work experience with that Personal Trainer. We have a network of 350 Personal Trainers around Australia and hence our ability to match students with Personal Trainers.

Fast Track Campus: This is an eight week practical component of the course where our students attend a campus (of which we have 39 around the country) and on 8 x Friday nights and 4 x Saturdays, our students undertake intensive practical experience and training in Personal Training. This program ensures students receive the highest levels of practical training and industry experience. Students are then required to supplement this practical training with the theory based education.
Our campuses in Queensland are as follows:

  • Cairns
  • Townsville
  • Sunshine Coast
  • Toowoomba
  • Brisbane
