If you have the right certs then yea pretty easy to get a job in a gym.

I have a cert from SAFE - Scandinavian Academy of Fitness Education here in sweden and through them a FISAF cert.

I would love to train people that competes in bodybuiling and fitness becouse that is what i have done here in sweden but i can not be to picky when it is about to earn my living while i study.

im sure it wont be a problem, you may have to contact someone here to ensure that your credentials meet aussie requirements, worst case you have to enrol in a fast track PT program (only 10 weeks at most i think) for a couple of grand, then your good to go... since you already know your stuff it shouldnt be a problem for you to get through in 10 weeks best of luck with the move mattias.

I can't see a problem with this man - Maybe find a job in a gym then do some pt on the side till you have enough clients to just do that.

What are you studying by the way?

You are studying at the Gold Coast campus right?
They have a gym.

You need a cert 3 in fitness to be a gym instructor
You need a cert 4 in fitness to be a personal trainer
You need your first aid/CPR to be both I believe?
A lot of places want you to be registered with organisations like vicfit as well, but I dont know much about that.

To be honest you would probably not do a fast track course, you would just get credit for what you have already done, maybe doing a module here and there to fill in any blanks. But then again, getting them to recognise your previous experience might take more than 10 weeks...

I looked for personal trainer jobs on seek.com.au today and there were HEAPS.
Most might be rubbish, but getting something to put food on the table while you keep looking might not be so hard.

Just check out:
www.seek.com.au

Hope that helps
