This examination is closed-book with a two hour time limit; there are 1000 total points possible on the exam, 750 are necessary for successful completion. The NFPT - CPT exam has been written under a legally defensible and strictly executed process with weighted percentages for each of the following respective categories:
In June 2004, The National Federation of Professional Trainers (NFPT) conducted a scientific research study to define the role of the Certified Personal Trainer (NFPT-CPT). The mechanism for this study was a Job Analysis survey. The results of the study provided the basis for making a valid claim of appropriate test score inferences. In support of these efforts, NFPT contracted with Schroeder Measurement Technologies, Inc. (SMT) to develop and conduct the survey describing the important tasks and knowledge elements required for competent entry-level CPT practice. Please refer to the NFPT Candidate/Affiliate Handbook for detailed information regarding examination development and all related processes. Exam Outline
