Name? Sussanne Morton

What course are you studying? Cert III & Cert IV in Fitness

What prompted you to study in this field? I love health and fitness and helping others with their goals. To me it\'s the ideal career, I\'m doing something I really enjoy whilst taking good care of my own health in the process.

Do you work full time, part time or have children? If so, how do you find the balance between studying and other commitments? I work part time as an artist and private art tutor. I balance my time between study, work and other chores by planning my time each week on my whiteboard. It takes a bit of juggling at first.

Have you done or do you plan to do work experience? I have done some WEX for Cert III and need to do more for Cert IV. It was great to spend time in a few different gyms.

What do you like about being a student? I love learning, especially something I am passionate about. I feel like a big sponge soaking in all this exciting information. I like the fact that this is leading me to the career that I can\'t wait to work in.

What challenges have you encountered? After years of running my own business from my home studio where I could act the clown, I am learning that I now need to behave a different way and be more organised. I can\'t wear my paint clothes anymore!

Do you have a favourite trainer/lecturer? What do you like about them? No favourites, they are all fantastic with unique things to offer and different styles of teaching. They are all so very professional and skilled in the delivery of their lectures and lots of fun!

Do you have any advice for people considering a career in fitness? Make sure it\'s something you are passionate about and you will be great at what you do as well as an assett to your future clients. \"Whatever you can do or dream you can begin it, boldness has genius, power and magic in it\"
