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 shipment of materials and can be completed at your convenience.  The proctored exam will be sent to our proctor in your area.  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 consists of true/false, multiple choice, fill in the blanks, and application projects.

What happens after I submit my exam(s)?

Upon receiving your exam, it will be graded in 7 days from our receiving it (excluding weekends and holidays). You will then receive an email with your exam results.  You may retake the exam 2 times within your one year enrollment period at no additional cost! Upon a minimum passing score of 85, your certificate, wallet ID card, and a letter of recommendation will be mailed in 2 weeks.

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, your course will ship in 3-5 business days. This will allow you to get a quick start on it. The estimated time for completion is 2 - 6 months, but you have one full year to submit the exam. The personal trainer II course is simply too detailed to finish it quickly.

Do I have to renew my certification?

Yes, you will need to renew your certificate every 2 years with approved CECs.
