Home study courses have become increasingly popular in both professional as well as university settings. Offering the convenience of self-paced learning, the NCSF Personal Training Home Study course covers all the same topics as both the Workshop course option and the Training School course option in an easy to follow home-study course format.

Upon registration for the NCSF Personal Training Home Study Course, each candidate is sent a course materials package consisting of the Personal Trainer Course Textbook, Personal Trainer Study Guide Manual, Personal Trainer Practical Lab Manual, Lesson Plan, Concepts of Training CD-ROM and the NCSF Personal Training Technique & Assessment DVD video. As the candidate progresses through the lessons they build a knowledge base that is applied during the practice and performance of the outlined training activities.

Putting exercise theory into practice is a key component to the proper completion of the NCSF Personal Trainer 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 a personal trainer is responsible for on the job.

Upon completion of all the readings and practical activities outlined in the course materials candidates should be well prepared to take the NCSF Certified Personal Trainer certification exam. The exam is given at Prometric testing centers at 400 locations throughout the United States and Canada. If you do not register for the exam at the time of your Home Study Program enrollment you may do so at anytime after by contacting the NCSF at 800-772-NCSF(6273) or registering online
