Australian Institute of Personal Trainers scholarship






For the first time ever in the fitness industry, the Australian Institute of Personal Trainers will offer two scholarships in fitness to Indigenous Australians, which will qualify them to become Personal Trainers.
I spoke to Kylie Fahey, CEO of Australian Institute of Personal Trainers to learn how they hope to change the lives of Indigenous Australians and be inspired by the impact these scholarships will have on their health and well being of our wider Indigenous community.

The Australian Institute of Personal Trainers is a Registered Training Organisation certified to deliver Certificate III and IV in Fitness and qualifies graduates to become Personal Trainers. The Australian Institute of Personal Trainers has identified the opportunity to provide scholarships in its Certificate III and IV in Fitness to Indigenous recipients. The benefits of the Certificate III and IV course in Fitness is that it qualifies graduates to become Personal Trainers and as such achieves several objectives at the same time:

  • breaks the cycle of poverty in Indigenous communities
  • addresses heart disease and obesity in disadvantaged communities
  • teaches life skills that ascend beyond the profession of Personal Training.
The Australian Institute of Personal Trainers will provide free tuition and text books as well as continued student support to assist the scholarship winner to graduate from the course. Each scholarship is valued at approximately $5,000. The Australian Institute of Personal Trainers will award 2 scholarships per annum. If funding is available to fully fund this course, then the Australian Institute of Personal Trainers will provide an unlimited number of scholarship opportunities.
