Accelerate Program – Entry Requirements & Certificate IV in Fitness
Accelerate Program – Entry Requirements & Certificate IV in Fitness Overview
If you’ve previously completed an older version of the Certificate III in Fitness (such as SIS30315) and don’t meet the current entry requirements, our Accelerate Program is designed for you. This pathway allows you to update the required units from the Certificate III while progressing directly into the Certificate IV in Fitness (SIS40221).
By completing the Accelerate Program, you’ll bridge the gap between the superseded qualifications and the current national standards, ensuring you’re fully prepared and compliant to begin your Certificate IV studies.
Once complete, you’ll be equipped with the advanced skills to work as a qualified Personal Trainer — designing tailored one-on-one programs, delivering outdoor and group training sessions, and even working with children and special populations.
This program provides a streamlined solution for upgrading your fitness career without starting from scratch.

Individuals who specialise in Group Exercise Fitness Instruction deliver exercise sessions designed for participation by a group of clients with a mix of ages/fitness levels. Sessions may be freestyle, pre-choreographed or circuit style. These individuals instruct and demonstrate complete exercise sessions to groups with limited individual interaction.

Testimonials
"They weren’t trying to sell it to me. They were understanding my lifestyle, where I was at…I can do it in my spare time. I can do it whenever I want. The practical- love it. They respond so quickly, calling, emailing- I would recommend it just because it’s a good education for yourself, it’s not just for teaching other people."
"I phoned a few different training providers and once I’d spoken with the team at AOF, I just felt a really great connection with them, really lovely people. They had fitness studies themselves, so they could really offer us some great industry insights into how we could really provide a great service… They could provide training that went above and beyond just the basic stuff."
"With ease, I found the Academy of Fitness. I love the flexibility- I have a one-year-old daughter and having the option to choose where I want to study and when I actually have the time to study definitely helps. I also love that the course challenges me online as well as the practical assessments, so it’s not all just theory, it’s practical and you have to get involved with the community."
"So, without education in any kind of career, you cant really expand. So I found that obviously that groundwork of a cert 3 and 4 does give you that foundation of knowledge to then leapfrog further into whatever you want to do in the fitness industry."
