Learning the intricacies of personal training can be a difficult task for those with little to no formal training. The NCSF Interactive Personal Trainer Workshop Course was created specifically for those candidates who desire an enhanced learning experience. The workshop course option utilizes a comprehensive component combined with a two day hands-on learning segment.

Upon registration for a select workshop, each candidate is sent a course materials package consisting of the Personal Trainer Course Textbook, Personal Trainer Study Guide manual, 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. Candidates are expected to complete the designated readings and written activities prior to attending their selected workshop. This will ensure each certification candidate maintains the minimal knowledge base necessary for proper workshop learning and comprehension.

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 instructors, the workshop is used to review and reinforce key course concepts and to provide students the opportunity to put theory into practice. Under close supervision from experts in the field, students will: review client profiles, make appropriate activity recommendations based on sample client health histories, perform various screening and fitness evaluations, learn proper training instruction for multiple exercises, and complete a metabolic analysis for weight management considerations.

After completion of the home study component and participation in a workshop students should be well prepared to take the NCSF Certified Personal Trainer Certification 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 workshop locations and dates or to register for a workshop visit the NCSF calendar of events or call 800-772-NCSF(6273).
