Values to a NFPT Certification

National Federation of Professional Trainers has been certifying fitness professionals since 1988 and offers you an NCCA-accredited, nationally and internationally recognized, Certified Personal Trainer (CPT) credential. NFPT will provide you with more than 300 testing locations to choose from and options for FREE Continuing Education Credits (CECs) that won't leave you spending hundreds (or thousands) to obtain your certification and maintain your credential. When comparing with other accredited companies, you'll find that NFPT offers the most affordable and convenient certification processes while still maintaining the credibility and confidence that you need in your CPT credential!

Convenient Testing Options
NFPT maintains strict standards for test security and delivery while allowing for the most convenient and affordable test methods possible. With over 300 available locations to choose from, there's little to no travel or related expense. You'll set your own test date by making an appointment at the test site nearest you.

Free Study Material
Electronic copies of ALL NFPT education materials are provided at no cost by simply registering to the NFPT website . No other certifier provides education material prior to enrollment. Offering this valuable information supports NFPT's mission to address failing health in America and abroad; therefore, we seek in any way possible to equip trainers, clients, and other fitness consumers with the education and tools needed to further promote this mission.

Free Continuing Education
NFPT's Continuing Education Credit (CEC) method allows for on-line self-tests to be completed at no additional cost, and at your convenience, by simply logging into your trainer account each 6 months and completing your quiz. Obtaining appropriate credits is a requirement of many business professionals, educators, and health and fitness instructors; all NCCA accredited certification organizations require CECs, but NFPT's processes allow for CEC maintenance that won't require a large financial or time investment.

Interest Free Financing Available
NFPT offers the In-Home and Distance Learning CPT study options at a lower up front financial obligation with the remaining balance financed over 12 months. There are no interest or finance fees and the only requirement is that you pay off your balance within one year and before you test. Upon your first payment of the certification enrollment fee, you will be provided with all education material, allowing you to get started on the course and your studies without the up-front financial obligation.

Fitness Resources and Benefits
