Recreation, Sport, Fitness and Adventure Tourism Workers

There is a strong growth in sport, fitness, tourism and outdoor recreation activities, along with increased public awareness of health and fitness issues. Courses in this area will train you for employment in sport and recreation venues (e.g. leisure centres), health and fitness centres, and outdoor recreation businesses as development officers; sport and recreation program leaders; coaches; personal trainers; fitness instructors; sport and recreation supervisors and managers; adventure tour guides and outdoor recreation assistants and leaders.

Courses which are accredited meet the national standards as set down by the National Training Framework (NTF), the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) and National quality assurance requirements such as the Australian Quality Training Framework (AQTF). The courses are recognised throughout Australia and once you have finished your studies, by completing the relevant core and elective subjects, your efforts are recognised by achieving a qualification and receiving a formal parchment. Assessment is often conducted in real or simulated work places which measure your ability to perform competently in job focused outcomes.
