Would you like to play a part in creating and maintaining and healthy communities?

The campaign to stay fit and healthy has never been greater and courses offered through South West TAFE have been tailored with this in mind.

Ignition Gym, our own fully-functioning gymnasium and personal fitness centre enables students to gain ‘‘real life’‘ training, ensuring you get the most out of the course.

Students have their own clients and as a practicing fitness instructor they carry out consultations, health screenings, fitness assessments, monitor progression, reassessments and appraisals.

With student participation in local sporting club administration, primary school activities and regional sporting industry bodies, our courses are filled with learning opportunities that enable a holistic learning experience.
