You can complete this program and become a Certified Personal Trainer while also working full-time. The study material is 100% online and self-paced, and can be accessed on a computer, or a mobile device such as a phone or tablet.

What’s the difference between the two Certified Personal Trainer exam types? Which one should I take?

You have the choice between two exams, a non-proctored Certificate exam, and a proctored NCCA-Accredited Certification exam. Here are some of the major differences between the two:

• The non-proctored exam has 100 questions; the proctored exam has 120 questions.

• You have 3 hours to complete the non-proctored exam; you have 2 hours to complete the proctored exam.

• The non-proctored exam is open-book; the proctored exam is not.

• The non-proctored exam confers a Certificate as a Personal Trainer; the proctored exam confers an NCCA-Accredited Certification as a Personal Trainer.

The choice of exam is up to you and in most cases simply depends on what your employer requires. You can also read this blog post to learn more about your options.

What’s the Certified Personal Trainer final exam like?

The non-proctored, online-only exam contains 100 questions that must be answered within 3 hours. This exam is open-book, meaning you can refer to your study materials.

The proctored, NCCA-Accredited exam contains 120 questions that must be answered within 2 hours. This exam is closed-book, so you cannot refer to your study materials.

You will have 180 days from the date of registration to take either of the exam options. An extension for the exam can be purchased by contacting NPTA Student Care Support at 1-778-949-6782.

How is the Certified Personal Trainer final exam administered?

The non-proctored exam is administered online only.

The proctored, NCCA-Accredited exam can be taken online or in-person. For more information, read this blog post.

What if I do not pass my Certified Personal Trainer final exam?

For the non-proctored exam, you have 3 attempts to pass. If you do not pass after 3 attempts, a retest can be purchased by calling NPTA Student Care Support at 1-778-949-6782.

For the proctored, NCCA-Accredited exam, you have one attempt to pass. A retest can be purchased by calling NPTA Student Care Support at 1-778-949-6782.

Do I have to renew my Personal Trainer Certification?

You must recertify every two years to ensure that your Personal Trainer certification remains up-to-date with current best-practice guidelines and skills. You will be required to earn 2.0 NASM approved continuing education units (CEUs) every two-year period, which includes 1.9 CEUs from approved coursework and 0.1 CEUs from the mandatory CPR/AED certification.
