Career PT
A good first step to kickstart your personal trainer career is to obtain your Career PT (Certificate IV in Fitness + Certificate III Pre-requisites) from PT Academy. Once you have decided that a career as a personal trainer is right for you, choosing this certification program will help you become a professional fitness trainer. Once you get started with this program, our master educators and trainers will provide you with a combination of both digital and hard copy study materials.
Where can you use this certification?
There are several things that you can do with the Career PT Certification. While the most obvious way to use your certification is to train clients, you can also use it to expand your career beyond helping clients in the gym. Other innovative ways to increase your reach and revenue include:
Providing online personal training:
This certification qualifies you to create and run your own personal training business. However, you shouldn’t limit yourself training clients face to face. The personal fitness world offers digital opportunities, and for everyone client you train in person, there will be dozens of others that can use your services but not necessarily in your neighborhood. To offer training online, you will rely on the exercise knowledge, coaching skills, and programming experience you obtain from the PT Academy course.
Create programs for fitness brands:
The fitness industry is always looking for new and evolving programs. Fitness companies, gyms, and brands rely on professionals to help them develop and implement new programs. As a PTA certified personal trainer, you can lend your skills and knowledge to this process.
Write informative articles or blog posts:
As you help more and more people take control of their health and fitness, you will get more followers. You can gain traction with a larger audience and start building your credibility through fitness writing on websites, blogs, and in magazines. In your author bio, remember to mention your fitness trainer certification.
Why Get Your Career PT Certification at PTA?
Proactive learning
PT Academy is a family run business that is fully committed to providing world-class learning. We have a dedicated team that supports students with learning that is encouraging and enjoyable. At PTA, we believe that when personal development is powered by engagement and excitement, the final results will be greater.
Although we often advocate for face to face learning, this isn’t always possible. For this reason, we have blended workshop days and an online training program where you can access your learning texts, receive support, engage with peers, and submit your written materials. This option has become very popular because:
- You can avoid expensive travel costs
- You can learn at a pace that suits your life commitments
- You can embrace world-class learning regardless of your geographical location
- You can keep records of all interactions and use them to study later
Receive training from industry experts
Part of what makes PT Academy different is our team of dedicated, highly experienced, and educated lecturers who provide comprehensive and personal approaches to your learning. Our instructors will ensure that you start your career with confidence, knowing that the knowledge and skills you have received are those needed in the fitness industry.
More job opportunities
While you can get employment with a Certificate III in Fitness, most businesses in the fitness industry look for graduates with a Certificate IV. Apart from opening up more job opportunities, this certification course is also a pathway to further studies. For example, if you plan to pursue a Diploma of Fitness, you will need a Certificate IV in Fitness and some experience working in this industry.
At PT Academy, we also go the extra mile to set up interviews for our students with some of the most reputable fitness facilities in Australia. For instance, Virgin Active, Fitness First, Fit N Fast, Evolution outdoor training, Snap Fitness, among several others.
