Not sure if a career in health is right for you? Let us help you decide. Here’s 7 reasons why you should start your caring career with a qualification from VFA Learning!
1. Demand is growing for nurses
With an ageing population, the rising cost of treatment and more recently, COVID-19, it’s clear that a well-resourced healthcare system is required to maintain the wellbeing of our community. People are interested in living well, meaning nurses, personal trainers, massage therapists and other health professionals are in high demand.
Our Diploma of Nursing means you’ll graduate as an Enrolled Nurse and is perfect for anyone who’s driven to help those in need.
“The things I enjoyed most about VFA was the trainers that we had. They’re all currently working in the field and up-to-date with their training. They were super encouraging and always pushing us to do our best.” Jayde Di Blasio, VFA Nursing graduate said.

A Personal Training career can be so rewarding, especially if you want to start your own business. VFA Learning provides you a hands-on practical way of learning, so turn up to class in your work out gear and be prepared to apply the new skills you are learning. This approach gives you the best chance of graduating job ready and starting a career that you will love.

You’ll get access to highly respected industry trainers and quality clinical facilities so that you can graduate job-ready to treat those suffering from sports or work-related injuries.
