Personal Training Regulations

Becoming a personal trainer, like most other careers, involves an even balance between education and experience. The ICI personal trainer program is a theoretical training program for aspiring and existing personal trainers. The ICI personal trainer program is designed to enhance students skills and career prospects. It is not designed for the purposes of entry qualifications to practice as a personal trainer. You will require a Cert III / IV Fitness to qualify to work as a personal trainer in Australia. In other counties formal qualifications may not be needed. The course is for those who want specialist training and skills in fitness and personal training. It may be taken as a supplementary course to the Cert III /IV Fitness or for those in related professions (health, nutrition, dietitian professionals as well as coaches etc).
