What does the personal trainer certification qualify me to do?

The personal trainer certification qualifies you to work in fitness centers, gyms, or to open your own fitness business.  The course information combines personal training, basic nutrition, and aerobics into the personal trainer certification.

We are the only company to offer an online course that is this complete!

No other company offers  better online fitness certification than AFTA!

Being able to receive online certifications and/or degrees from the web has taken education to a new level. Many academically elite colleges are now offering accredited degrees online in almost every field possible. It is actually like having your textbook directly on your computer screen.

How does the online process actually work?

The online course will come with information divided into sections just like an actual textbook.  Exercises, charts, and tables are included in the material.

After you enroll and after we receive the order from PayPal, you will receive 2 emails from AFTA: one with enrollment info and the last one will include login information with instructions.  Once you have logged into your course, directions are given on how to complete the course and exam. Refunds are not issued on this online course. Completed exams will be graded within 5 days of our receiving the exam (weekends and holidays are excluded in that time frame).  Your exam results will then be e-mailed to you.

 

Choice of Exams:

Since some fitness centers require proctored exams and others do not, you have the choice of which exam to complete.  The non-proctored exam is included in the online course material and can be completed online at your convenience.   The proctored exam will be mailed to our proctor in your area.  The online exam cam be studied in preparation for the proctored exam. Proctored exams can be scheduled in your area in 2 weeks at the convenience of both you and the proctor. 

What does the exam consist of?

The exam will consist of T or F, fill in the blank, short answer questions, and application projects.  Within the 12 month enrollment year, you can retake the exam 2 times at no additional cost.  Successful completion of the course/exam requires a minimum score of 85. 

 

Who qualifies to take this course?

bullet

You must be at least 18 years of age but not in high school and physically able to work with and monitor clients.

bullet

You are not required to hold any certifications or college degrees.

bullet

Good knowledge and experience with different kinds of fitness equipment and exercises is required.  Please do not enroll in a personal training certification course if you do not have this experience. (Participation in high school sports training does not qualify for the required knowledge and experience.)

 

How long will it take to complete the course?

This will all depend on your prior knowledge and experience in the field. After you enroll, you will have instant access to begin the course. Estimated time to complete the course is 4 - 6 weeks, but you have an entire year from date of enrollment to submit the exam.

 

Do I have to renew my certification?

Due to most insurance companies and fitness centers requiring recertification, you will be required to recertify every two years.  Just before the end of your first year's certification, please contact us for recertification requirements.
