Certified Personal Trainer Workshop
Becoming a Certified Personal Trainer can be a difficult task for those with little to no formal training. The NCSF Certified Personal Trainer Workshop Course was created specifically for those candidates who desire an enhanced learning experience. The Workshop Course option utilizes a comprehensive self-study component combined with a two day hands-on learning segment to prepare individuals for the certified personal trainer exam.
Upon registration for a select workshop, each candidate is sent a course materials package consisting of the Certified Personal Trainer Course Textbook, Certified Personal Trainer Study Guide manual, Certified Personal Trainer Workshop Reference Guide, step-by-step lesson plan, NCSF Concepts of Training CD-ROM and the NCSF Personal Training Technique & Assessment DVD Video. These materials systematically teach the course participant the science behind sound fitness training and exercise programming.
The Workshop Course is two days of high-energy instruction consisting of interactive lectures, and practical, hands-on training. Taught by master/doctoral level NCSF-certified personal trainer instructors, the workshop is used to review and reinforce exam content areas and to provide students the opportunity to put theory into practice. Under close supervision from experts in the field, students will: engage in screening and programming case studies, perform assessments, learn proper biomechanics and training instruction, and practice resistance training activities for multiple outcomes.
After completion of the self-study component and participation in a workshop students should be well prepared to take the NCSF Certified Personal Trainer Exam. The exam is given at Prometric testing centers in over 400 locations throughout the United States and Canada. If you do not register for the exam at the time of your workshop enrollment you may do so at anytime after by contacting the NCSF at 800-772-NCSF(6273) or registering online.
Workshops are offered within various fitness facilities and both college and university settings around the country. For a complete listing of Certified Personal Trainer Workshop locations and dates or to register for a workshop visit the NCSF calendar of events or call 800-772-NCSF(6273).
