overview

Online microlearning course for gyms, studios and fitness teams. How infection actually spreads through shared equipment and skin contact — the chain of infection and where to break it — recognising the infections that move through gyms (staph and MRSA, ringworm and fungal infections, and the facts on blood-borne viruses), why cleaning and disinfecting are two different jobs, the wipe-down routine and contact time, handwashing that actually works, and running a blood spill from cordon to reopen — including when someone trains anyway and shouldn't.

Built for: Gyms & Fitness.

questions

No. This is an awareness course — practical, RTO-authored online training that issues a certificate of completion. It is not a nationally recognised unit of competency.

~1 hr · online. Delivery: online, self-paced. Start, pause, and finish whenever suits.

Yes. Cleaners do the scheduled clean; infections spread between them — bench to bar to hand, member to mat. The people who break the chain are the trainers and floor staff wiping down between uses, spotting a skin infection, and handling the blood spill at 6pm on a Tuesday.

Yes — a full module. Small and large spills, protecting yourself first, cordoning the area, clean-then-disinfect with the right contact time, safe disposal, and the exclusion-and-return call when someone's bleeding or unwell but wants to train anyway.

Anyone on the floor of a gym, studio or aquatic fitness space — PTs, group instructors, front desk and duty managers. Owners use it to put every staff member through the same standard and keep the certificates in one register.
