The primary reasons NFPT is the premiere organization to join is simple and is information guarded by other organizations!

Standard Personal Trainer Certification

NFPT is aggressively pursuing the industry standard NCCA Accreditation, while others are looking for easier and less stringent alternatives! There is NO substitute for this rigorous industry requirement! As of August, 2004, the NFPT examination has been developed by SMT (Schroeder Measurement Technologies) using their professional third-party assessment instrument design protocol that more effectively measures applicant knowledge and will insure a more well-rounded and qualified NFPT graduate.

NFPT is the sole originator of its education materials! Plain and simple! Our education is the result of independent research and our methodologies are totally unique and tried & proven over a span of 17 years! Out of an overwhelming demand by our existing affiliate base, hungry for more unique and creative education, NFPT is soon to release several more programs all of which solely originate from the NFPT and continue to be based on NFPT independent research! Other organizations will many times buy existing books, take out the education they prefer to use, duplicate the education, then create exams. Many organizations even use the exact same books to draw education from. This results in a stagnant and "cookie-cutter" education offered by so many programs. All NFPT education materials, present and future, will be free to download from this site. Take a look at our creative approach to education and be convinced of its value before you spend a penny on enrollment fees! As an organization whose primary goal is to promote fitness, NFPT has a genuine interest in educating you! Our applicants see our value before they even apply. Welcome to the National Federation of Professional Trainers!
