What is NCCA Accreditation? NCCA is a 3rd party governing body whose function it is to impose certification standards and identify quality programs to candidates and the public that are in strict compliance and produce valid, competent, and worthy personal fitness trainer graduates. This process is emerging in our profession as the legitimate standard. Accreditation in other professions is actually required of licensing (certifying) agencies! Through NCCA accreditation, the bar is finally being raised to a level respected by allied health professions, more quickly leading to patient referrals and eventual insurance reimbursements for fitness training services!

How does NCCA Accreditation benefit you? NCCA accreditation of certifications serves and protects YOU the candidate and the public by requiring certifiers to comply with exam validation, accountability, and protocols proving graduates have truly earned their certification! In addition, health clubs are being offered reduced insurance rates if their trainers are certified by an accredited organization. So holding an accredited certification will set you above other job applicants.

Simple Certification Process: With your initial materials you will receive a letter listing the (5) test sites located closest to you as well as exam scheduling procedures. These exam procedures are as easy as calling a test site location and setting up your test date appointment. There are over 300 professional testing sites across the country with one located near you. If you are located at too great of a distance from a site, simple arrangements will be made so that your exam can as easily be taken in your own home town.

Ongoing Education Process: Other credible certifying agencies require extensive traveling each year at considerable expense that is NOT included in their stated fees. The minimum continuing education requirement of NFPT certified fitness professionals is provided through secure online testing in the months of June & December (after your first year of certification), for an annual administrative fee of only $85. This makes NFPT's accredited program the most affordable available.
