What our students say...
Why did you choose to study with Onfit?
I had previously worked in health and following a break wanted to retrain in a different area. I knew that I wanted to do Allied Health Assistance and it was just a case of finding a reputable RTO. I was new to Brisbane and saw the advertisement for Onfit online.
On contact I found the staff very friendly and the sign-up process was all very straight forward.
What have you enjoyed about your experience studying with Onfit?
I’ve really enjoyed working at my own pace and knowing that support was there if I needed it. I had a health background and so a lot of the content was familiar to me. I think this helped and I was really happy that Onfit assessed my prior study and gave credits where appropriate.
The submitting of assignments was very straight forward and there were options for practical assessments if students were unable to get to onsite practicals.
What do you plan to do with your qualifications / what are you doing after graduating?
I am very fortunate, to have secured a part-time position at one of the large teaching hospitals in Brisbane.
I am a mature aged student and so this is particularly exciting for me.
It is never too late and I would encourage anyone seeking a new direction maybe later in life, to go for it!
Jane
Certificate IV in Allied Health Assistance
Why did you choose to study with Onfit?
Onfit provides the flexibility needed to study whilst still living a busy life day to day. Onfit also gives you plenty of time to complete the courses. I finished my Cert IV in one year, with 6 months’ time still available to me if needed, so there was no need to stress about strict time scheduling, as I could just fit in study according to my work schedule. When I got stuck, the e-tutors were great in responding in a timely manner and efficiently answering/dealing with my queries and challenges.
What have you enjoyed about your experience studying with Onfit?
My study was self-paced and encouraged self-motivation and persistence. I enjoyed learning the interesting and detailed content that the Allied Health Cert IV course contained. The course always had varied methods of assessment and a vast supply of resources which were great learning tools. I also enjoyed completing my Boxing for Fitness course, which provided me with another skill to use when personal training my clients – it only took me one month, so it didn’t interrupt my Certificate IV at all and I had completed a new qualification in no time!
What do you plan to do with your qualifications / what are you doing after graduating?
I have already gained part-time employment as a Grade 2 Allied Health Assistant, just one month after finishing my course. I have been given the opportunity to work in a hospital, working two days in the acute ward and one day in the rehabilitation centre; meaning my other two days of the week are available to continue my current Personal Training endeavours.
Kelsey Taurins
Certificate IV in Allied Health Assistance & Boxing for Fitness
It was a very interesting and a valuable experience while studying for my Cert IV in Allied Health Assistance course from Onfit Training College. I got to learn a lot and it really gave me a good grounding in the basics. It enabled me to think about the ways and means to interact professionally at the workplace with my colleagues and patients. I also learned more about the areas which need special attention and focus from my side. I found the course challenging and also very rewarding at the same time. I always got the assignments corrected quickly along with lots of positive feedback from the tutors. I have received tremendous educational support from my tutors – Mr. Jeff Cook and Mr. Dan Darcy.
The fees were very reasonable and I could study and submit my assignments at a comfortable pace. I would highly recommend studying at Onfit Training College to my friends and colleagues.
