We offer 2 examination options: NCCA Exam or Standard CPT Exam.
The NCCA exam allows you to become an NCCA Accredited personal trainer within the US. This is more important for students who may choose to live in the US at a later point OR may want to work for a higher caliber personal training facility.
This is a 120 Multiple Choice Closed Booked Exam that can either be taken online proctored (meaning you will have someone monitoring you via webcam during the examination) OR In person at an examination centre (You can input your zip code and NASM will find the closest examination centre to you). You only have 1 attempt at this exam and are given 2 hours to complete.
The standard CPT exam is non-proctored and is administered online only. This is a 100 multiple choice open book exam. You are given 3 attempts for this exam and given 3 hours to complete.
A passing grade for either examination option is 70% or higher.
The proctored (accredited) exam, is for those looking to train clients in the future whether that's in a gym setting or privately. The non-proctored (non-accredited) exam, is for those who are taking the course for either their own knowledge or to work in a setting that does not require an NCCA Accredited CPT. What has you interested in being certified?
For the proctored exam it depends which CPT program you choose, the self study includes 1 and an exam voucher can be added later if needed. For the non proctored exam you have 3 attempts
