WISE (RTO88136) offered the Certificate III in Fitness (30315) with an emphasis on gym instructor and group fitness instructor. Please note that this qualification is superseded by SIS30321 – Certificate III in Fitness. WISE currently does not have this qualification (SIS30321) on scope. More information can be found at training.gov.au or clicking on the link provided to find out which other RTOs deliver SIS30321.
This qualification provides the skills and knowledge for an individual to be competent in a range of activities and functions requiring autonomous work within a defined range of exercise instruction situations and activities. Qualification outcomes will depend on the elective grouping chosen and may include providing exercise instruction for group, aqua or gym programs.
Individuals who specialise in Group Exercise Instruction deliver exercise sessions designed for participation by a group of clients with a mix of ages/fitness levels. Sessions may be freestyle, pre-choreographed or circuit style. These individuals instruct and demonstrate complete exercise sessions to groups with limited individual interaction.
Individuals who specialise in Gym Instruction provide individually tailored client assessments, provide technique correction as needed, and develop and demonstrate programs. They also provide supervision of a facility or service, keep equipment clean, tidy and well maintained, and handle various customer inquiries.
Work may be undertaken in locations such as gyms, fitness facilities, pools and community facilities. Job roles can include gym instructor, group exercise instructor and aqua instructor.
Through industry consultation, WISE currently offers the following units though we can also replace the elective units with ones suitable to your needs and/or career outcomes.
