An applicant may apply for an assessment of their prior learning at the time of applying for entry to an award course of the college.

Testimonials

  • Theresa Tran
    Bachelor of Applied Fitness
    "ACPE gave me a taste of everything in health and fitness, as well as experience in the industry"

Additional information

ACPE knows the value of gaining industry experience so you are career ready. Embedded into the Bachelor of Applied Fitness is the opportunity to gain a Certificate III and Certificate IV in Fitness (SIS30315, SIS40215). This means after your first year of full time study, if you choose to undertake additional learning, you can become a qualified fitness instructor and after your second year of full time study you can become a qualified personal trainer.

This will allow you to commence work in the industry whilst you complete your degree. You can earn money as well as gain industry experience, giving you a head start in your fitness career. While there would normally be a charge to study these qualifications externally, there is no extra charge for these qualifications when completing them with FIAFitnation as part of the ACPE Bachelor of Applied Fitness.

Delivery

Online learning allows students to access the same learning resources and support available to on-campus students. The online learning environment is designed to be interactive, engaging and supportive. Some subjects may be offered online. Online subjects are taught with a viable cohort of students. If the cohort is not the right size for interactive learning students may be asked to attend on campus.
