Pass your personal training qualification with flying colours

The personal training qualification at the Australian Institute of Fitness is the most sought after in the industry. If you choose to study personal training with the Institute and get the edge in your personal training career, read these fantastic tips on how to pass with flying colours.

1. Get familiar with your local gym or fitness centre

Play with all the equipment and machines to become confident with using them before your course, and it will definitely give you a head start.

2. Schedule in time each week to study

You’ll have scheduled in time for your sessions, but don’t forget you’ll also need time to study and complete assessments.

3. Listen carefully in each session

It sounds obvious, but the more the listen and understand as you go along, the less you’ll have to cram before assessments.

4. Get your own personal trainer

If you’ve never experienced having a personal trainer, it’s a great idea so you can put yourself in the place of the client.

5. Attend every session

In order to get the Master Trainer qualification you need to turn up to all your classes. Re-takes are best avoided as you’ll be busy enough.

6. Be open to making new friends

Everyone will have a different background and understanding of fitness, so chat to everyone and you’ll learn more.

7. Get organised

With your sessions, workouts, assessments, etc., you’ll have a lot going on, so get organised and make sure you’re eating and sleeping well.

8. Be enthusiastic

Fitness is what you love, you’ve made a big decision to become a personal trainer or group instructor, so make the most of it!

9. Use the internet as a learning aid

Whatever you learn in class, you can learn heaps more about on the internet, so immerse yourself in information to be the best you can be.

10. Practice training your friends and family

You’ll only become a great trainer by practising, so give your family and friends a workout. Remember you can’t get paid till you’re qualified.
