SIS40221 Certificate IV In Fitness
Now that you have your Cert III in Fitness, the SIS40221 Certificate IV in Fitness is the follow up qualification for Fitness Instructors to add Personal Training to your list of services. A career in Personal Training can be both a satisfying and rewarding one.
Qualification Description
This qualification reflects the role of personal trainers who develop, instruct and evaluate personalised exercise programs for generally healthy and low risk clients, to achieve specific fitness goals. Clients with higher health risks are referred to medical or allied health professionals.
Personal trainers work independently using highly developed fitness skills and knowledge in both routine and unpredictable situations.
They use well-developed communication and collaboration skills to interact with clients and health professionals to improve client fitness outcomes.
This qualification provides a pathway to work as an employed or self-employed personal trainer in settings such as fitness facilities, gyms, leisure and community centres, client workplaces and homes, and outdoor locations.
Personal trainers may offer services to individuals and groups, and may provide online training services. In some employment contexts, personal trainers may be involved in team leadership or supervisory activities.
