Distance Learning for Personal Trainer Certification is the way of the future and NFPT is taking the lead! Many people interested in becoming certified fitness professionals would prefer to attend classes for an instructor-led and interactive learning experience. However, in many situations a demanding schedule, lack of nearby college course offerings, and limited budgets, may restrict the potential trainer from pursuing their fitness education and career goals. NFPT now has the answer!

In addition to our Home Study option, you can now use your home computer to attend virtual classes online with the same teaching structure as is used in our 8 week NFPT-CPT college course! The course curriculum includes: Reading assignments from NFPT Study & Reference Manual, chapter outlines, animated PowerPoint presentations, required completion of worksheets, educational document downloads, over 300 practice questions, client fitness assessment and consultation instruction, fitness prescription scenarios, and more!

Though this course suggests an 8 week time duration, you may proceed through it at your own pace. When applying, you will be responsible for creating and maintaining a password which will allow you to login each time you return to the program. Upon enrollment, you will be sent a letter which includes final exam instruction as well as your Customer ID number. You will need this ID number to activate your course prior to taking the first week quiz. While enrolled, it will be necessary to take each week's module exam before "unlocking" the following week's classes.

Distance Learning is a convenient independent study approach that allows for a more thorough understanding of the course material by using a guided step-by-step process with a resulting accredited CPT credential in only 8-weeks.

Interested in pursuing college credit? Your NFPT-CPT credential is recommended for 3 college credit hours by the American Council on Education at all participating colleges. Learn More
