Personal Training Home Study Course Preparation

The Home Study Course begins upon receipt of the course materials. The materials are designed in a user-friendly lesson by lesson format. As the candidate progresses through the reading assignments, written activities and course viewings they build a knowledge base that is applied in the performance of a series of practical training exercises.

Putting exercise theory into practice is a key component to the proper completion of the NCSF Home Study Course. Candidates are shown how to perform a variety of exercise assessments and training techniques, which correspond to the program lessons. The performance of these practical activities transfers the theoretical lessons into the tangible skills that professionals in the field of Personal Training are responsible for on the job.

The Home Study Course is ideal for those individuals that are looking for a flexible and convenient learning model that can be completed at the candidate’s own pace. Once a candidate completes the course and is comfortable with the topics presented they are ready to take the Personal Training Exam.

Athletic trainers, physical therapists, physical therapy assistants, registered dietitians, or dietetic technicians looking to gain CEU’s towards the maintenance of a board certification or license must complete the designated submission forms in the Lab Manual and mail them to the NCSF in order to gain the CEU’s.
