Who is it for:
Personal trainers are health/fitness professionals who, using an
individualized approach, assess, motivate, educate and train clients
regarding their health and fitness needs. They design safe and
effective exercise programs, provide the guidance to help clients
achieve their personal health/fitness goals and respond
appropriately in emergency situations. Recognizing their own area
of expertise, personal trainers refer clients to other health care
professionals when appropriate.
History of NSCA
The NSCA-Certified Personal Trainer (NSCA-CPT) certification was
developed in 1993 for professionals who work one-on-one with their
clients in a variety of environments, including health/fitness clubs,
wellness centers, schools and clients' homes. The exam thoroughly
tests the knowledge and skills that are necessary to successfully
train both active and sedentary physically healthy individuals, as
well as individuals with special needs.
Today, more than 9,600 fitness professionals hold this prestigious
credential. The NSCA-CPT became the first personal training
credential to be nationally accredited by the National Commission
for Certifying Agencies (NCCA) in 1996
National Exam:
To achieve certification as an NSCA-CPT, candidates are required
to pass a challenging 3-hour written examination that includes 140
scored multiple-choice questions and 10 nonscored multiple-choice
questions focusing on client consultation/assessment, program
planning, exercise techniques, safety/emergency procedures and
legal issues. The first 35 questions correspond to a video that
assesses knowledge primarily in the areas of exercise techniques,
functional anatomy and fitness testing protocols.
This exam contains 28 scored questions on client
consultation/fitness assessment, 49 scored questions on program
planning, 49 scored questions on exercise techniques and 14
scored questions on safety/emergency issues
The computer-based exam can be taken an any national testing site.
