NCSF Personal Trainer Certification Exam Steps ...
(Taking an NCSF personal trainer certification exam is not dependent on purchasing NCSF study items or
enrolling in an NCSF educational course.)
The decision to pursue professional
certification is an important step in being recognized as a competent
practitioner in one’s chosen discipline. Earning the NCSF credential
distinguishes more than a credible level of expertise; it signifies an aptitude
and commitment to one’s profession.
The NCSF Board for Certification sets
competency standards to protect the public, signify quality in practice
capabilities and identify qualified personal trainers to employers within the
health & fitness industry. The NCSF credential for personal trainers is the
preeminent fitness certification backed by full legal defensibility.
The certification exams are developed and administered in
complete compliance with the strictest standards for testing and measurement as
set forth by the American Psychological Association, the American Educational
Research Association, the National Council on Measurement in Education, the
Association of Test Publishers, the Buros Institute for Assessment Consultation
and Outreach, and the National Commission for Certifying Agencies.
The Board has developed the first
industry-unified, standardized personal training certification using input from
over 20,000 surveys of facility owners, fitness managers, experts from
academia, health professionals and practicing personal trainers. The result of
the most expansive job task analysis in the fitness industry is a true measure
of professional qualification and subsequent valid and reliable exams that hold
up under legal scrutiny.
The certification exam was developed by
subject matter experts from throughout the United States under the management and administration of Prometric, the
de facto standard in professional test administration. The certification exam
is offered in nearly 400 test locations six days a week throughout North America. The Board for
Certification testing service provides NCSF Certified Personal Trainer exam candidates with full
access to the latest testing technology, award-winning customer service and
flexible exam scheduling one would come to expect for the industry’s premier personal
trainer certification.
