SRF 40206 – CERTIFICATE IV IN FITNESS

The SRF40206 Certificate IV in Fitness is the nationally accredited qualification to become a
Personal Trainer. The qualification is part of the National Training Package and recognised
throughout Australia. It is composed of units of competency packaged into five modules as
follows:

1. Nutrition and Body Fat Management
2. Exercise Science and Postural Screening
3. Advanced Exercise Programming and Resistance Training
4. Exercise and Specific Groups – Older Adults and Children
5. Personal Training Principles and Business Management
Upon completion of the course you will be qualified as both a fitness instructor (gym
instructor) and personal trainer.

The course is conducted by correspondence or Fast Track (Melb/Brisbane), weekend and part
time evening options (Melb). You have the option of completing the qualification in the
environment of your choosing and in your own time. We allow a maximum of six months for
each module but most students complete the course in a much shorter time period. There is no
minimum time frame which means you can complete the course as quickly as you like. It all
depends on how many hours you put in to study each week.

All participants receive course manuals (correspondence students also receive DVDs or videos).
The course manuals include written assessments which need to be completed and returned to
Fitnation. There is a theory test at the end of each module (ie 5 theory tests in total). These are
composed of multiple choice and true / false questions and are completed in a maximum of two
hours.

The course includes a 20 hour work placement in a Fitness Centre to practice the skills
associated with becoming a personal trainer (for students who have not completed a Fitness
Instructor qualification and had appropriate employment experience). A Practical Assessment
will also be conducted upon completion of the work placement. For this component of the
course, you will need access to a Fitness Centre.

Attached is some detailed information about the course. You are welcome to contact us if you
have any further questions.

Yours sincerely,
