The Australian Institute of Personal Trainers Reviews 

Marianne is proactive and makes things happen, unlike a lot of other AIPT staff. Deserves a raise.

My experience with AIPT has been excellent. From the beginning the team was supportive, responsive and committed to helping students succeed. The flexibility of the online learning model was perfect for balancing study with my family and work life. highly recommend for anyone pursuing a fitness quali.

My experience with AIPT was very poor!
All I can say is do your research.

I enquired and spoke to a consultant in person, he weighed up everything and he suggested an online approach was in my best interest.

After expressing my concerns that I wouldn’t be able to provide certain criteria the consultant assured me that everything was online and I could complete both the cert 3 and 4 from the comfort of my own home and so I opted for the “online fast track option”

After receiving access to the online portals I quickly realized that it wasn’t the case, there were multiple parts that required a little more and then it even got worse during my Cert 4 where I was expected to make a short film. To say the least, I felt like I was lied too, the online assessments and process is almost identical as the “in class” option and all assignments I felt weren’t designed to retain information.

The marking side of things is a joke, I had multiple friends that were doing and had completed there certification through AIPT so when I hit a little snag I would call on them, they of course would assist and then when the marking came along I would get it wrong but they would have gotten it questions right, hhhmmmm odd.

Towards the end I was getting messages that I can get an extension because let’s face it I wasn’t going to finish my assignments and before even asking if I needed help they wanted to talk money. I informed them I wasn’t gunna pay and that shocked them.

The only part of my experience that was good was after I requested a refund.
I was fed up with the inconsistency in marking, didn’t feel like I had any support and the feedback when I got questions wrong was so vague and didn’t help.

I was then called by the Fitness Education Outcomes Manager who re-lit the fire that I once had for fitness and helped me get the rest of eveything done. 5 stars to Jared.

I’m not saying don’t go with AIPT I’m just saying my experience was poor I felt lied too, discriminated, robbed. I was so passionate about personal training and fitness and I believe this experience has definitely taken some of that passion away from me. The mental strain, frustration, exhaustion, neglection, etc has actually made me decide I no longer want to be a PT.

This review is my honest experience with AIPT regarding their online fast track option. I do feel that my experience would have been rather different under different circumstances but sometimes you don’t have other options. I hope that this helps

Carl was great support during the call

Good communication in person, via email and text. Thorough information.

Joy , she is the most kind, respect , super professional , she is simple the best

The Certificate III is well aligned with the national certificate requirements and it is designed to get the basis knowledge for entering the fitness industry. The program is very complete and well structured. The certificate motivated me to get deeper insight into the medical area and retake my studies in Anatomy & Physiology. I loved the anatomical part and the posture assessment modules. I would recommend to make the material more brief and avoid hundred of pages repeating the same information. For students it is a bit discouraging to invest time on reading that repeat the same information and keep it summarised is a key component. Working with a master recognised book will make it more interesting and will aim to be like an University. I loved the extra support online classes provided. they were of great support and helped understand my position and comprehension about assignments. I highly recommend the institute and do not regret enrolling with the team.
Carl thanks for your message and more than pleasure to write a good feedback to the team. The team deserves it.

Abi was extremely knowledgeable, explained herself so I could understand but in detail. She was absolutely fantastic support.

The communication with the instructor on the phone. Good manners.

Super easy and customer service representatives were knowledgeable

Layko was Very kind and helpful, able to resolve my issue straight away :)

Emjay was incredibly helpful, she went above and beyond in assisting me to restructure my certificate to suit my current situation. In addition to this she offered me more time to get my course done which I'm so thankful for because money isn't plentiful right now. Thanks again Emjay.

Found out about AIPT when I was applying for jobs through seek as I was unemployed. I was then tricked by very clever sales tactics into signing up and was persuade in the hopes of a potential job in the industry. I had no form of income to pay them back. I don't know how I would have even qualify on their end with no income. I have since struggled to pay back the remaining amount. I feel like it was not in their best interest to allow me to sign up. Only care about money.

Jon was very kindly, and he resolves my doubts in an agile, close, and timely manner.

Wasn't able to be assisted with my question however, my pst experiences have been efficient with this. Still very kind person to deal with

They were very supportive understanding and easy to contact.

Very helpful with my issue and got things done quick and efficiently

Just wrapped things up with AIPT and spoke to Marianne about getting my cert. She was a legend — made the process smooth and clear. Appreciate the help and the good vibes. Cheers!
