Changing direction with someone to turn to
Ana Elisa Avila says she came to Nōmadas through recommendations from several friends. A chef by profession, she had applied to study Certificate III and IV in Fitness and felt anxious about renewing her visa. In her review, she thanks Moreen for her empathy, availability and support during that process. Her experience brings together two decisions: trusting a team recommended by people close to her and exploring a different field of study.
“I switched to them because I have more than 10–15 friends who were with them, and that encouraged me.”

Exploring fitness as a study path
If you are considering a new field, start by understanding what you want to learn. Nōmadas’ personal trainer guide expands on the points worth reviewing.
- Define your interest.
Think about enjoying your own training and wanting to train to support other people. Write down the tasks and knowledge that interest you.
- Review each course.
Compare content, entry requirements, delivery and practical training. Ask the provider how the qualifications relate to your goal.
- Connect your experience.
Prepare questions about your background and change of field. Your situation needs its own assessment; Ana Elisa’s story describes her individual experience.
