Fantastic experience: I enjoyed my studies with Fitness Institute and the quality of education, especially the study materials and videos has been excellent. Philip Sherriff’s background in the fitness space includes comprehensive and solid experience that seems to be unique in the industry in both professional sport coaching and digital technology. This is very evident in the course content and organised set out of learning materials. The web access through their Axcellerate portal was easy to navigate and reliable. My experience with the trainer/assessors was always positive. Whenever I rang to make enquiries, they were always friendly, patient and understanding. They always got back to me quickly and offered a high level of service with answers that I could use to learn and pass the course. Although I am in Brisbane and Fitness institute is in Townsville, the online option for learning suited me well and Fitness institute provided as much support as was needed to complete my course. I highly recommend them.
