Why Study with Onfit?

Flexible, Quality Online Courses
Extensive Support from our Expert Team
Industry Approved Theoretical Knowledge
Relevant Fitness Business Skills

When I first found out about the opportunity to learn with Onfit Training College I was super excited for a few reasons.

Firstly, the fees are significantly less than other courses of the same curriculum. And secondly, as a busy mother I could choose to study at the times that were suitable for me and my family.

Studying with Onfit, I was able to refresh my skills, take on a brand new avenue and a career change. My aim was to step out of the corporate environment and get outdoors to train like minded people.

Home based learning was the simple and easy choice for me and with the support and service Onfit has provided to me personally, I have enjoyed gaining my qualification immensely.

Naomi G
Certificate III & IV in Fitness Graduate

“I want to complete my courses so I can become a personal trainer and a gym manager and just help people further their lives and fitness aspirations.

The trainers, they were all really excellent with all of us and it was the ease of access to the classes, it was very easy to attend all of my classes.

The Virtual Reality Classes definitely added an era of personability because you get to talk and bounce ideas off of the trainers and instructors even though it’s a classroom, you still get a nice different feel than you would if it was an online lecture.

I would recommend Onfit & Virtual Classroom Tutorials to anyone who wants to do their online study because they can’t make it into a classroom or something, it gives you that really good option to have the classroom experience.”

Certificate III & IV in FItness (+ Virtual Reality Tutorials)

I was recommended to Onfit by a friend, Chris Miller [Onfit Graduate]. The delivery is seamless. They wish no guessing about what is required of me. The amount of information supplied, fully helps with answering assessment tasks. The resources and slides are comprehensive and accurate. The communication with all staff at Onfit is timely, professional and always answers my questions. I am a personal trainer running my own business. I wish to expand and become a healthy lifestyle coach which includes mindset and nutritional coaching. I will need to do continued studies for this.

Kylie P
Certificate IV in Fitness Student

“I did shop around before settling on Onfit, I looked at the cost, the standard of material and also judge the organisation on their responses. I was super impressed on all three of my criteria, staff got back to me quickly, they were supportive, their cost was very competitive ( in fact they were the most well priced as I compared them with other well know organisations such as TAFE).

The team were really helpful with some RPL as well. Again the RPL process was great and the staff most helpful.

Probably the thing I enjoyed most was the level of professionalism the course offered. I am very fussy when it comes to education as I have studied nursing, exercise science and have a masters in disability rehab, I would certainly put the content up there with some of my higher education studies. I learnt a lot from the course it was comprehensive and I like that Onfit maintained and expected a high from me as a student. Certainly no shortcuts by the education team. I have just graduated and already have been approached by 2 organisations for a position.”
