We have a number of payment options to assist with getting you started as soon as possible. The options are:

Instalment Plan

Instalment plans involve an initial deposit at the time of enrolment followed by regular weekly or fortnightly instalments over a pre-determined time frame (maximum 12 months).

Full Fee Payment

Full-fee payment involves the full cost of the course being paid at the time of enrolment either by credit card or bank transfer.

Instalment plans and full fee (upfront) payments include all costs associated with your training and assessment.

For more information on terms, conditions and eligibility criteria for any of the payment options offered by Healthy Nation, contact us on 1300 889 587 or email us at info@healthynation.com.au.

Once you have enrolled you may start your theory component via the online learning centre straight away, even if you have enrolled in a campus program and are waiting for the face to face training to commence.

To find your nearest Healthy Nation campus and the course intake dates contact us at info@healthynation.com.au or on 1300 889 587.

Healthy Nation has two course delivery options:

Online

Delivered entirely online via our online learning platform, meaning you can study when and where suits you.

Any practical elements required within your course are to be undertaken in a relevant working industry environment.

There is no waiting for a mentor to do your practical workbooks. Our structure allows you to utilise friends or family to achieve the practical hours required to be undertaken. You then have the choice to record and submit (upload) your assessment sessions, or attend one of our Fitness Intensive events where you will have the opportunity to be assessed and signed off as being competent.

Campus (face-to-face)

The campus program gives you the best of both worlds – the theory component of the course is completed online via the online learning centre at a time that is most convenient to you.

You will then complete the practical component in a functioning fitness facility giving you real life personal training exposure and experience. This will provide you with invaluable insight into being successful in the fitness industry. You will spend time with a personal trainer that is at the coal face every day and is willing to give you their knowledge to help you get started.

Many education providers require students to find a personal trainer who is willing to act as their mentor during their studies. This is usually difficult for the student who may not know anyone, and the personal trainer or business owner as it is a big commitment for them.

This is why Healthy Nation has developed a much simpler system for the practical experience and assessments. The practice sessions can be undertaken on family members or friends, and the final sessions can be recorded and uploaded for assessment. Alternatively, you can attend one of our Fitness Intensive events where you can be assessed face to face.

The theory component is all delivered online via the online learning centre so it is up to you how many hours you spend studying each week. If you have a completion date in mind, it is a good idea to develop a study plan by working backwards to make sure you are spending enough time studying each week. You have a maximum of 12 months to complete the Certificate IV in Fitness.

The Certificate IV in Fitness (plus prerequisites) contains a total of 28 units to be completed and assessed as competent for you to receive the certificate. Each unit can take anywhere between 5 and 20 hours to fully complete the theory and practical requirements.

There are many factors that affect your ability to complete the course, and in what time frame, most notably your study competence, and work and family commitments.

To help you stay on track and complete your course within a desired timeframe, you will be provided with an individual study plan upon enrolment.

A Certificate III in Fitness is the minimum qualification required to work as a gym instructor. A Certificate IV in Fitness is the minimum requirement to work as a personal trainer and is the most common and valuable fitness qualification.

Healthy Nation’s Certificate IV includes all prerequisite Units so there is no need to complete a Certificate III in Fitness before enrolling in Certificate IV in Fitness, saving you time and money.

As a self-employed personal trainer, you can set your own session or hourly rate. The amount you charge will depend on a number of factors including the services you are offering, the location e.g. premium fitness facility or park, size of sessions i.e. one on one or small group, demand for your services, and later on, the level of experience you have.

Generally, personal trainers charge between $40 and $90 for a 30­–45 minute session.

You will also choose the number of clients you want to take on and the number of sessions per week. As a result, you have significant control over your earning potential. Approximately 40 sessions per week is a long-term sustainable number – if the number is much higher you will struggle keeping up with your clients and their needs.

High quality, industry-ready graduates that are well equipped for a career in the fitness industry will usually have many opportunities.

Healthy Nation will support graduates as they establish their careers if required.
