What Certifications are valid in Australia?

by Sanjay S Singh
(Mumbai, Maharashtra, India)

Hi I am an Indian,33 yrs, have a vast experience as a personal fitness trainer and have worked as a fitness manager for 8 yrs. I am immigrating to Australia in a few months, so was keen on doing an International fitness trainer certification, which is valid and recognised in the Health clubs across Australia.

Can you tell me which certification is valid among ACE, ACSM, ISSA. I am more inclined to do ISSA. shall i go ahead with it.

Please Guide.

world wide certification
by: Joe Bartovic

Great question! Part of the problem here in the U.S. is the confusion on which programs are the best. Internationally you should look into the NASM program for the UK or other UK "REPS" certifications.

Australia has its own regulations
by: Katie - Admin

Australia regulates the personal training industry so the American certs, while still valid, may not enable you to practice personal training. That is the extent of my knowledge so I will leave it to an Aussie to fill in the gaps.

Aussie Certs
by: julie

Hi, I am from Australia, all certifications to work as a personal trainer must be government accredited. You can only do those based in Aus to work in Aus. Some have online study. Good luck

If Julies comment is true why do some Australian sites claim world wide recognition?
