Why Choose an NSCA-Certified Personal
Trainer?
There are over 200 personal trainer
certifications in the country, many not so reputable. The top two are the NSCA
and the ACSM. Many personal trainers are not even certified and may not be
properly trained in issues such as
injury prevention, special populations (ie.
people with various health issues or special needs), or safety issues.
What sets the NSCA-CPT certification apart
from all the rest?
Scope of Practice
+The exams focus on the "real-world"
responsibilities of personal trainers and strength and conditioning
professionals.
+Validation of the exams signifies that
individuals are tested over the knowledge, skills and abilities necessary to be
competent in their respective
professional
career areas.
Exam Development
+Passing a challenging exam demonstrates
your level of commitment to the industry and your career, helps to substantiate
your competency level to others and proves that you are indeed qualified to
perform the tasks expected of you.
+By passing a difficult-to-obtain exam, you
gain instant credibility and an edge in the industry over personal trainers and
strength and conditioning professionals who have earned a less challenging and
less respected certification.
National Accreditation
+The NSCA Certification Commission is the
only fitness-related organization to have credentials nationally accredited by
the NCCA since 1993.
The
National Strength and Conditioning Association is a nonprofit,
educational organization established in 1978 that provides resources and
opportunities for professionals in strength and conditioning and related fields.
It is recognized as the worldwide authority on strength and conditioning for
improved physical performance. With more than 30,000 members located in 52
countries, the NSCA draws upon its vast network of coaches, athletic trainers,
physical therapists, educators, researchers and physicians to develop and
present the most up-to-date information on strength training and conditioning
and personal training practices, injury prevention and research findings.
UCLA FITNESS INSTRUCTION PROGRAM
The UCLA Certificate Program in Fitness
Instruction is an eight-course, university level program.
It is recognized in
the fitness industry as the standard for continuing education programs for fitness instructors,
personal
trainers, sports & strength coaches, registered dieticians, nutritionists, and
other fitness and health professionals.
