I completed both a Certificate III and Certificate IV with the institution. It's been almost years since I finished the courses, and despite my efforts to enter the industry, I have not achieved any meaningful employment outcomes.
What I found disappointing was the disparity between how the program is advertised and the reality after graduation. There is a strong suggestion that these qualifications will lead to job opportunities or clear routes into the fitness sector, but in reality, there is very limited ongoing support post-graduation.
Job assistance felt minimal and generic, offering little guidance in a highly saturated market. After investing a significant amount of money and time into two qualifications, I was essentially left to navigate my career alone with only a certificate and no clear direction or industry connections.
While the course content is adequate, prospective students should be aware that earning Cert III and IV does not guarantee employment, and the level of support after qualification is much weaker than suggested. I would strongly advise anyone thinking of enrolling to thoroughly research employment outcomes and alternative pathways before making a commitment.
