While other providers choose to conclude their course with a written exam, at AFA Asia we believe the real-life experience and industry exposure you’ll get from the 3-Day Workshop is far more valuable. The theory content of the course is designed to give you all of the knowledge and tools that you’ll require to become a personal trainer and the interactive workshop will show you what you have learned being put into action before you complete the qualification. It’s always best to check with a provider what practical experience you will receive while studying for a fitness qualification.

Instead of attending our 3-Day Workshop, students also have the option to complete a Practical Placement program, which aims to bridge the gap between study and employment. It’s a structured 30-hour program designed to give students real-life experience prior to entering the fitness industry.

The in-depth program takes you from a shadowing role to a training role, giving you the confidence to enter the fitness industry as a knowledgeable and skilled instructor. We also provide you with an Australian Fitness Academy Asia uniform to help you look the part.

Most facilities are happy to take on our students for Practical Placement because it allows them to observe you as a potential employee upon graduation. There is no additional cost to you and Supervisors will be paid for their assistance.

For new students, the 3-Day Workshop helps you apply the theoretical knowledge you've gained during the course in a real gym environment. You’ll receive hands-on experience in Client Screening & Assessment, Group Exercise Programming & Instruction, and 1:1 Personal Training.

For existing professionals, the workshop provides an opportunity to refine and update your skills through interactive, practical sessions, keeping you up to date with the latest industry practices. You’ll also benefit from personalised mentoring and real-world application of your expertise.

Upon completion of the workshop, whether you’re a new student or an existing professional, you’ll receive lifetime access to your Certified Personal Trainer qualification with no need for re-certification, which means no ongoing costs.

New students can attend the workshop after successfully completing the Final Exam, while existing professionals can book directly without needing to complete the online course or exam. The workshops are held at FITLUC in Keong Saik, providing a practical learning environment for all participants.

Whether you’re a new student or an experienced professional, you’ll participate in practical activities such as client assessments, exercise programming for both groups and individuals, and personal training. You’ll have the chance to ask questions and receive 1:1 mentoring from experienced trainers.

For professionals, it’s also a great opportunity to update your knowledge, build connections with other fitness professionals, and ensure you remain at the top of your game.

We've designed the course to be self-paced so anyone can study to become a personal trainer and fit it in around their current commitments. We have students who work full time and have busy family lives and so are committing just a few hours per week, on the other hand, we have students who are looking to start their fitness industry careers as soon as possible and maybe studying 20+ hours per week. Whatever your situation you will receive a very flexible 6 months to finish the course.

Unfortunately, you cannot use your Skills Future allowance toward this course. However, we frequently run promotions on our course fees and offer interest free payment plans to make the course accessible to everyone. In addition, we do not require students to pay for recertification in the future. You may choose to put your Skills Future allowance toward the First Aid and CPR certificate instead.

While other providers choose to conclude their course with only a written exam, at AFA Asia we believe the real-life experience and industry exposure you’ll get from the 3-Day Workshop is far more valuable.

Our institute has been offering fitness qualifications for 31 years with over 30,000 graduates. The CPT qualification is designed for students based in Singapore and offering them the opportunity to graduate with one of South East Asia’s highest quality fitness qualifications. We have partnerships with many of the most recognised gyms and studios, including our education partner FITLUC, providing students with career pathways into the fitness industry.

Absolutely, as a student you have access to our jobs board displaying local job opportunities. In addition, our partner companies will contact us when new job opportunities arise. The practical placement is also really useful for this as we find that many graduates will stay on in permanent roles where they complete their practical. This is a great way for students out into the industry and can offer a direct career pathway.

Our CPT qualification is recognised for registration by FITREC, one of Australia’s leading fitness registration bodies. Graduates of this course can use the qualification to work in Australia as a Personal Trainer and Group Exercise Instructor upon completion once they have registered with FITREC.

Another major difference between our qualifications and others is that we do not require our graduates to re-certify every two years. We offer a range of professional development courses for you to upskill once you graduate but these are optional. Not having to recertify is a huge cost-saving in the future.
