Plus, employers agree that NCEP Certified Personal Trainers (NCEP CPTs) are better prepared to actively start their fitness career because of the hands-on workshops and testing.
IN 30 DAYS OR LESS YOU COULD BE AN NCEP CERTIFIED PERSONAL TRAINER — SETTING YOUR OWN HOURS AND ENJOYING THE JOB SECURITY OF WORKING IN AN INDUSTRY THAT’S EXPECTED TO GROW BY 10% EACH YEAR.
MAKE SURE YOU’RE ELIGIBLE.

No CPR and AED certifications? No problem. You just need to get them at some point before you start personal training clients. Most gyms provide insurance when training inside their facility.
