How does the online process actually work?

The course is arranged by informational sections and pictures.

After you enroll and after we receive the order from PayPal, you will receive 2 emails from AFTA: one for enrollment info and the last one will include login information with instructions.  Once you have logged into your course, directions are given on how to complete the course and exam. Refunds are not issued on this online course. Completed exams will be graded within 5 days of our receiving the exam (weekends and holidays are excluded in that time frame).  Your exam results will then be e-mailed to you.

 

Choice of Exams:

Since some fitness centers require proctored exams and others do not, you have the choice of which exam to complete.  The non-proctored exam is included in the online course material and can be completed at your convenience.   The proctored exam will be mailed to our proctor in your area.  The online exam can be studied in preparation for the proctored exam that will be scheduled in your area at the convenience of both you and the proctor.  The included exam and the non-proctored exams do not contain the same questions.

What does the exam consist of?

The exam will consist of T or F, fill in the blank, multiple choice, short answer questions, and application projects.  Successful completion of the course requires a minimum exam score of 85. 

 

Who qualifies to take this course?

bullet

You must be at least 18 years of age but not in high school and physically able to work with and monitor clients.

bullet

You are not required to hold any certifications or college degrees.

bullet

Good knowledge and experience with different kinds of fitness equipment and exercises is required.  Please do not enroll in a personal training certification course if you do not have this experience. (Participation in high school sports training does not qualify for the required knowledge and experience.)

 

How long will it take to complete the course?

This will all depend on your prior knowledge and experience in the field. Estimated time to complete the course is 4 - 6 weeks, but you have an entire year from date of enrollment to submit the exam.

 

Do I have to renew my certification?

Due to most insurance companies and fitness centers requiring recertification, you will be required to complete continuing education courses to renew the certificate.  Recertification is required every 2 years.
