Certificate IV in Fitness 健身四级证书

This qualification reflects the role of personal trainers who have specialist skills to train individual clients, or groups of clients, on a one on one or group basis, to improve health-related components of fitness in relatively low risk situations. This may include training of older adults and children. They have a substantial depth of knowledge and skills to plan, conduct and evaluate exercise training; provide leadership and guidance to clients and other staff; and deal with unpredictable situations applying defined guidelines and procedures from the fitness industry and the organisation.

They work independently, or with limited guidance from others, and use discretion to solve non-routine problems, including monitoring and managing business activities to operate efficiently and profitably.

This qualification does not provide the skills and knowledge for an individual to provide advice and exercise instruction to high risk clients, other than to refer the client to an appropriate medical or allied health professional however it does provide a pathway to work in a diversity of fitness industry businesses including fitness and gym centres, aquatic and community based facilities and in open spaces where risk management through risk assessment and control hazard processes does not already exist.
